[1] Over the last century, the average temperature in Laramie, Wyoming, has increased 1.5 °F (0.8 °C). [2]
The plan is partly designed to start assessing the necessary steps required to keep up with the natural changes in the climate, environment, and ecosystems. According to the plan, predictions gathered in 2007 by a panel on climate change deem average air temperatures to change in North America by 1-3 °C between the years 2010 and 2039. [9]
