This episode offers a comprehensive overview of climate change's past, present, and projected impacts on Nebraska. It begins by establishing a historical climate baseline from post-WWII to 2000, characterizing a period of continental steadiness. The document then details observed climate shifts between 2000 and 2024, highlighting rising temperatures, longer growing seasons, more intense rainfall, and increased swings between drought and flood. Looking forward, it presents mid and late-century projections, anticipating significant warming, shifting precipitation patterns, and declining soil moisture. Finally, the text explores sector-by-sector implications for agriculture, water resources, energy, public health, infrastructure, and ecosystems, while also outlining adaptation and resilience strategies for the state.
