The most California tornadoes on a single day in the state was seven, which occurred on November 9, 1982. [58] In July 2004, a twister touched down in Sequoia National Park at an altitude of around 12,156 ft (3,705 m), making it the highest elevation for a confirmed tornado in the United States.
Carbon emissions per capita, 2020 Carbon emissions per 1000 square miles, 2020. This is a list of U.S. states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions for energy use, [1] [2] as well as per capita [3] [4] and by area. [5] The state with the highest total carbon dioxide emissions is Texas and the lowest is Vermont.
On average, each acre of California’s federal lands lost roughly three-quarters of a ton of carbon dioxide every year from 2005 to 2021, the USGS study found.
Early in the Earth's life, scientists have found evidence of liquid water indicating a warm world even though the Sun's output is believed to have only been 70% of what it is today. Higher carbon dioxide concentrations in the early Earth's atmosphere might help explain this faint young sun paradox.
Climate change in California has resulted in higher than average temperatures, leading to increased occurrences of droughts and wildfires. [3] Over the next few decades in California , climate change is predicted to further reduce water availability, increase wildfire risk, decrease agricultural productivity , and threaten coastal ecosystems.

How much hotter will your county get? A USA TODAY analysis of data from the Climate Impact Lab has an answer.
Carbon dioxide levels have soared to 407.8 parts per million in 2018, up from 405.5 parts per million (ppm) in 2017. Carbon levels in the atmosphere ‘hit new record high’, WMO warns Skip to ...
A pattern of increased carbon uptake is observable both over the course of the day (less carbon is absorbed at night) and over the course of the year (less carbon is absorbed in winter). [10] While organic matter in animals generally decays quickly, releasing much of its carbon into the atmosphere through respiration, carbon stored as dead ...
