Clear Lake Provides Clues to Future Climate

State and local officials are under increasing pressure to plan for the changes that California will see in the decades ahead with its shifting climate.

This aired on The California Report on May 4, 2012, with an accompanying blog post and video on the Climate Watch blog.
