The Need of a National Climate Assessment
An assessment is a way to evaluate strong studies, and combine all research from different fields and places to find a solution to a matter.

Assessments can find patterns in our Earth system over time and help us identify problems and give solutions to them by limiting some factors that help these problems grow. The National Climate Assessments show us what are the causes of climate change in Earth's surface, and it also suggests solutions on how to prevent them.

Third National Climate Assessment (NCA3) 2014
the report claims that, since record keeping, we are now living the warmest weather. And that this increase in temperature began to happen in the 70s and expected to continue over time. the weather has also become less stable. Storms and hurricanes are becoming stronger, as well as heat waves. On the other hand, cold waves are happing in a less than expected rate. Across the country, heavy downpours are becoming more frequent, especially in the Midwest and Northeast. Some other factors outside the US are also affecting the country. Ice-melting and rising sea level cause an expansion of the water to the land. All of these natural disasters are expected to continue happening and get more intense.

Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4) 2017/2018
Report findings say that not all people are being affected by climate change by the same way and amount. Extremes weather affect people living in suburbs more than people living in cities. this is an international problem that should be solved to save these people. Economy is also directly being affected by climate change. More disasters mean more damage will take place to the citizens and government, which will also decrease the number of tourists. Rising temperature is making wildfires happening more often than they should and are lasting longer. And even though actions have been made since the last report to slow and eventually stop the climate-related impacts, more work has to be done in order to prevent these risks. Water and food's quality is getting worse, which means people with health problems or can't afford paying for health treatment are being affected by this more than others.
