Minnesota Climate and Health Profile Report: An Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on the Health & Well-Being of Minnesotans
- Abstract
Changes are occurring in Minnesota’s climate with serious consequences for human health and well-being. Minnesota has become measurably warmer, particularly in the last few decades, and precipitation patterns have become more erratic, including heavier rainfall events. Climate projections for the state indicate that these trends are likely to continue well into the current century and may worsen, according to some scenarios.
