U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit Released

An indicator that our federal government is finally "spinning up" on climate change is the release of a new U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit that was announced via the Council on Environmental Quality.

This is not just about disaster resilience, but it is a major factor when it comes to planning for and adapting to climate change. In particular, I like the portion of the tool, called Climate Explorer, that uses maps to tell the story of changing weather patterns.
