Observed and projected changes (compared to the 1901–1960 average) in near-surface air
temperature for Alabama. Observed data are for 1900–2014. Projected changes for 2006–2100 are from global
climate models for two possible futures: one in which greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase (higher emissions) and
another in which greenhouse gas emissions increase at a slower rate (lower emissions).
Temperatures in Alabama (orange line) were high in the 1920s and 1930s then decreased by about 2°F into the
1960s and 1970s. Temperatures have increased by about 1.5°F since the 1970s. Shading indicates the range of annual
temperatures from the set of models. Observed annual temperatures are generally within the envelope of model simulations of the
historical period (gray shading), but on the very low end. However, for summer daytime maximum temperatures, which have
decreased over the 20th century, this localized cooling is not well simulated by climate models. If Alabama were to continue to
follow the low end of model projected temperatures, by the end of the 21st century average temperatures would be about as warm
as the hottest historical year under a lower emissions scenario and about 4°F warmer than the hottest historical year
under a high emissions scenario. Source: CICS-NC and NOAA NCEI.

caption: 'Examples of coral farming in the U.S. Caribbean and Florida demonstrate different types of structures used for growing fragments from branching corals. Coral farming is a strategy meant to improve the reef community and ecosystem function, including for fish species. The U.S. Caribbean Islands, Florida, Hawai‘i, and the U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islands face similar threats from coral bleaching and mortality due to warming ocean surface waters and ocean acidification. Degradation of coral reefs is expected to negatively affect fisheries and the economies that depend on them as habitat is lost in both regions. While coral farming may provide some targeted recovery, current knowledge and efforts are not nearly advanced enough to compensate for projected losses from bleaching and acidification.
