Title: A hotter, wetter, more humid North Carolina

Description: Climate change is touching all corners of our state, and the impacts are being felt now. North Carolina has warmed in the recent past, and will continue to warm into the future. In a hotter, wetter, more humid North Carolina, the risks to people, cities and agriculture will increase.
