Climate change will have drastic impacts on the entire planet, however, especially in California and its coastal regions there have been and will continue to be detrimental effects from climate change. Sea level rise, the loss of the Sierra snowpack and depleted water supply, and an increased risk of forrest fires are some of the impacts that have already been felt by California residents. Specifically in Northern California, there have been many forrest fires in previous years that have been significant and negatively impacted living conditions across the entire area, even outside of the area of natural disaster.
