A 2011 study projected that the frequency and magnitude of both maximum and minimum temperatures would increase significantly as a result of global warming. [13] According to the Fifth National Climate Assessment published in 2023, coastal states including California, Florida, Louisiana, and Texas are experiencing "more significant storms and extreme swings in precipitation".
Climate also impacts the Santa Catalina by influencing plant productivity which is mostly related to the vast differences in the quantity of rainfall. [5] Environmental temperature fluctuations due to climate change affects the snakes because they are ectotherms- the outside temperature directly influences the snake's body temperature. [9]
The Santa Anas are katabatic winds (Greek for "flowing downhill") arising in higher altitudes and blowing down towards sea level. [7] The National Weather Service defines Santa Ana winds as "a weather condition [in southern California] in which strong, hot, dust-bearing winds descend to the Pacific Coast around Los Angeles from inland desert regions".
Gavin Newsom (governor of California since 2019) talks about climate change at North Complex Fire in 2020. In the western U.S., since 1986, longer, warmer summers have resulted in a fourfold increase in major wildfires and a sixfold increase in the area of forest burned, compared to the period from 1970 to 1986.
"Instead, climate change is bringing ongoing and rapid change." That's because the Arctic is warming about four times faster than the rest of the planet, according to previous research .
New research suggests that climate change, which causes more erratic and severe weather conditions, may be a trigger for more intense migraines. Migraines are getting worse — and climate change ...
These snakes can be found in habitats varying from covered woodland to arid deserts but prefer open prairies or grassy meadows. Gopher snakes are rarely seen above 2,000 ft (610 m), except East from the Mississippi at an altitude of up to 2,700 ft (820 m), and are most commonly seen adjacent to farms in semi-arid brushy areas.
