by Bay Nature
Bay Nature culled the top 10 signs of climate change in Northern California from a recently released report by the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA), Indicators of Climate Change in California (see: http://oehha.ca.gov/multimedia/epic/2013EnvIndicatorReport.html ).
Here are the Top 10 signs from the report that climate change is really here in Northern California:

1. Crissy Field, San Francisco: Rising sea levels
2. Sacramento River: Decline in spring run off from the Sierra Nevada
3. Sierra Nevada: Glacial melt
4. Clear Lake: Rise in lake water temperature
5. Monterey Bay: Ocean acidification
6. Yosemite National Park: Massive wildfires
