Abstract:
Environmental education emphasizes that the entire world is linked ecologically. Climatic phenomena in one region may influence conditions in other regions, even at great distances. Edgell argues that there is a need for more studies on global atmospheric circulation systems and their links to inter-regional climate patterns that affect southeastern North Carolina.

Abstract:
Given North Carolina's hospitable, mild climate, the state is popular for living and visiting year-round from coast to mountains. The ranges from sub-tropical temperatures in the southeast to temperate temperatures elsewhere, makes North Carolina favorable for industry. The mild geographic climate lessens costs for construction, fuel and maintenance, and encourages operations both indoors and outdoors.

Abstract:
According to the North Carolina Drought Monitoring Council, above-normal precipitation since September associated with the El Niño warm event in the Pacific has significantly reversed drought conditions across North Carolina. The State Climate Office expects above normal precipitation through the spring, which should allow water supplies across the state to be in much better condition than last year.

Abstract:
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Pacific cold sea surface event called La Niña is persisting and is predicted to hold on into 2000. The longer-term climate effects in North Carolina could be a continued deficit of normal rainfall into the spring. Because La Niña increases hurricane activity in the Atlantic, the state could see increased storm activity in the fall and short-term relief from drought conditions.

Hurricane Matthew’s outer bands hit Eastern North Carolina on October 8th, but the damage from that storm will take months and even years to recover from. The Cape Fear, Lumber, Neuse, and Tar Rivers saw record-breaking flood levels and coastal communities experienced immense storm surges. Many people were displaced, but fortunately FEMA funds will assist with the efforts to find homes for those affected.

Abstract:
The effect that climate change will have on North Carolina’s agriculture is explored. Participants and presenters from The Abundance Foundation’s conference share their experiences with the effects of climate change on their farms and production and their research on how climate change could affect the practice of farming in North Carolina. The increase in temperatures, variability of weather, and water supply are the topics of most concern.
