The first is that small changes with global temperatures can have a bigger effect than extreme changes.
We have seen this occur with record-breaking events and extreme weather events across New England and the nation over the last decade.
The second is that carbon dioxide emissions have embedded a certain amount of change in the climate system that we now need to adapt to.
And, thirdly, we have to account for climate change in all our planning and design to prevent more problems later.
