The report, released by the Minnesota Climate Change Research Institute (MCCRI) and University of Florida at Gainesville, found that climate change is already affecting temperatures in the state. The study predicts an increase in extreme weather patterns like heat waves and floods to come this century if current greenhouse gas emissions trends continue.
The “climate change atlas” is an interactive map that shows the effects of climate change across the world. The map includes data from different sources, including NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

“You don’t have to look very far to find something in your life that you care about,” Heidi Roop, an assistant professor of climate science at the University of Minnesota, said. “Whether it’s economic impacts; impacts on your community’s infrastructure; your ability to have clean, safe drinking water; your ability to go recreate in our forests or lovely lakes,” “A warming climate is putting this iconic Minnesota in jeopardy, and we’re already witnessing the effects.”
Warmer temperatures, particularly during the winter, and excessive precipitation are the key signs of a warming world, according to state scientist Kenneth Blumenfeld.
Between 1998 and 2020, each of the top ten combined hottest and wettest years on record happened. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the frequency of -35° F readings in northern Minnesota and -25° F readings in the south has decreased by up to 90%.
Heavy rains may “overwhelm” populations that lack the necessary infrastructure, according to Blumenfeld.

Our state is becoming wetter overall, but the frequency of drier summers—and droughts—could rise in the future, resulting in more intense temperatures if things do not improve.
“So it seems that we’re getting hotter in any case. But the issue is: “Will it become hotter gradually, or will it get hotter in a manner that we are completely unprepared for?” According to Blumenfeld.
Global leaders are meeting in Glasgow, Scotland, to attempt to bring the world back on track to fulfill the Paris Climate Agreement’s targets, which include decreasing global carbon emissions to zero by 2050 and limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit).
“I don’t believe we can overstate the significance of the COP26 meeting, and, more significantly, tackling the issues that climate change poses at all levels and scales of governance,” Roop added.
