- Over decades, the average number of days spent in heat waves in the U.S. annually has increased, based on increases in both the average annual number of heat waves and on their average durations. (en)
- Also, heat wave seasons have grown in length. (en)
- Opinion about human causation of climate change increased substantially with education among Democrats, but not among Republicans. Conversely, opinions favoring becoming carbon neutral declined substantially with age among Republicans, but not among Democrats. (en)
- US heat waves have increased in frequency, average duration, and intensity. (en)
- High tide flooding, also called tidal flooding, has become much more common in the past seven decades. (en)
- The number of floods declared to be disasters by the Federal Emergency Management Agency has increased, especially since 2010. (en)
- 3.786912E10 (dbd:second)
- Extreme precipitation events have become more common over recent decades. (en)
- The sharp divide over the existence of and responsibility for global warming and climate change falls largely along political lines. Overall, 60% of Americans surveyed said oil and gas companies were "completely or mostly responsible" for climate change. (en)
- Though the U.S.'s per capita and per GDP emissions have declined significantly, the raw numerical decline in emissions is much less substantial. (en)
- Greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., arranged by economic sector (en)
- The U.S. has been the predominant producer of natural gas, which includes the greenhouse gas methane. (en)
- As a result of global warming, average springtime temperatures have risen in the 48 contiguous states since the middle of the 20th century. (en)
- The U.S. has higher annual per capita emissions than China, which has more total annual emissions. (en)
- New installation of wind and solar capacity surged in 2020, but was then affected by sourcing problems for solar panels, supply chain constraints, interconnection issues, and policy uncertainty. (en)
- The heat-related death rate in the U.S. has increased since the mid 2010s. (en)
- Growth in renewable-source electricity generation has been led by wind and solar. (en)
- Adaptation measures for tidal flooding, such as sea walls and building up roadway heights, are predicted to last only a few decades. (en)
- In a UNDP survey covering 77 countries, most respondents from top fossil fuel-producing countries favored a quick transition away from fossil fuels, with 54% of US respondents agreeing. (en)
- A 2022 study found that the public substantially underestimates the degree of scientific consensus that humans are causing climate change. Studies from 2019–2021 found scientific consensus to range from 98.7–100%. (en)
- Climate change's increase of water temperatures intensified peak wind speeds in all eleven 2024 Atlantic hurricanes. (en)
- Americans are among those who least believe that climate change is a major threat to their country, ranking climate change lowest of five threats in this Pew survey. (en)
- Total wind plus solar energy electricity generation now exceeds coal-based energy in the U.S. (en)
- Perceptions differ along political lines, on whether climate change was a "major factor" contributing to various extreme weather events experienced by respondents. (en)
- Research found that 80–90% of Americans underestimate the prevalence of support for major climate change mitigation policies and climate concern among fellow Americans. While 66–80% Americans support these policies, Americans estimate the prevalence to be 37–43%. Researchers have called this misperception a false social reality, a form of pluralistic ignorance. (en)
- Over centuries, energy consumption has evolved from burning wood to fossil fuels , and in recent decades to using nuclear, hydroelectric and other renewable energy sources. (en)
- In recent decades in the U.S., the number of record daily high temperatures has grown to more than twice that of record daily lows. (en)
- Cumulatively over time, U.S. emissions have caused more economic damage globally than any other nation. (en)
- Though Texas and California generate the most wind + solar power of all states, various other states generate more wind + solar power per capita. (en)
- Average U.S. acreage burned annually by wildfires has almost tripled in three decades. (en)
- EPA-reported drought conditions for the 48 contiguous states. The curve is a nine-year weighted average. Wet and rainy conditions versus moments of drought in the U.S. have varied significantly over the past several decades. (en)
- Locations of solar photovoltaic facility locations having a direct current capacity of 1 megawatt or more (en)
