The far western part of Maryland has great conservation, but in the rest of Maryland and all of Delaware we are looking at significant change.  By 2050, the coastline will be dramatically different, and many communities will need to move.  

The far western part of Maryland has great conservation, but in the rest of Maryland and all of Delaware we are looking at significant change. By 2050, the coastline will be dramatically different, and many communities will need to move. Landscapes and seasons will shift to feel much more like Myrtle Beach is today. That presents some real opportunities alongside the significant challenges facing this region.

Ohio is looking at bigger changes than other Midwestern states, with a major summer heatup in the forecast.  Parts of the state will gain up to three additional months over 86.  Pair this with milder winters, and you have an outlook including a serious risk of mass tree death and resulting wildfire.

Pair this with milder winters, and you have an outlook including a serious risk of mass tree death and resulting wildfire.But, it's not all bad news. Ohio has shown an ability to make rapid changes, both with power infrastructure and water quality. Ohio's ability to pivot is crucial for resilience. And if Ohio keeps up the good work it's been doing, Ohio has a lot of capacity to grow.

The climate outlook for North Carolina is interesting. After seeing what happened to the Florida Keys I figured the Outer Banks would be toast- but they're not! Some beaches will be lost, but others show excellent potential for resilience. There's also great resilience potential in the mountains, as we've already seen in the Appalachia video. For the rest of the state, big challenges will involve dealing with drenching rains and increased energy costs. Raleigh is near the top of the federal government's heat concern list- but if we get ready now for the changes that are coming, North Carolina has very strong resilience potential. There are a lot of challenges in the outlook, but they are by and large very actionable.

The more research I did on Utah's climate outlook, the happier I felt for the state!  I think it's best outlook in the Southwestern region.  Parts of the state will experience extreme change, but this does not apply to densely populated areas, which will see relatively mild changes.  The power outlook is good, and even more importantly, the water outlook is good.  Although the drought impacting the Southwest is extremely serious, Utah is going in with not only a history of careful water management, but virtually intact aquifers.
