- Climate_change_in_the_United_States abstract "There is an international interest in issues surrounding changes in climate in the United States and that nation's relationship to general global warming due to the American position in world affairs as well as the high level of American greenhouse gas emissions per capita, with the climate of the United States often studied. In 2012, the United States experienced its warmest year on record, and the thirteen warmest years for the entire planet have all occurred since 1998, according to data that stretches back to 1880.From 1950 to 2009, the American government's surface temperature record shows an increase by one degree F°, approximately. Global warming has caused many changes in the U.S. According to a 2009 statement by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), trends include lake and river ice melting earlier in the spring, plants blooming earlier, multiple animal species shifting their habitat ranges northward, and reductions in glaciers. While predicting future climate changes are fraught with difficultly, like all statistical projections, some research has warned against possible problems due to American climate changes such as the spread of invasive species and possibilities of floods as well as droughts. Differences in the regions of the United States matter significantly, with drought conditions worsening in the southwest while improving in the northeast for example.U.S. President Barack Obama committed in the December 2009 Copenhagen Climate Change Summit to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the range of 17% below 2005 levels by 2020, 42% below 2005 levels by 2030, and 83% below 2005 levels by 2050. In an address towards the U.S. Congress in June 2013, Obama detailed a specific action plan to achieve the 17% carbon emissions cut from 2005 by 2020, including measures such as shifting from coal-based power generation to solar and natural gas production. Christiana Figueres, executive director of the UN's climate secretariat, praised the plan as providing a vital benchmark that people concerned with climate change can use as a paragon both at home and abroad.".
