Hi Jim,
Thanks for sharing this. It is definitely something I could use for a blog. And a means by which we can bring the "global" in climate change to "local" climate change. It is a conversation starter and one in which the deniers will leap on and dispute and pick apart. But that is what they do and it's okay because often they end up looking silly. When I did my zip code (96001) it was pretty basic. Heat waves, floods and fires. But we have had all these things and it is useful to let folks know these are increasing with climate change so get used to it and prepare. Great tip!
I will copy you with the blog post once it is active. Maybe tonight.
Doug

Please reply to originator unless the discussion is of interest to all list members.
Colleagues, This is a website that helps bring local level climate change information to anyone in the USA. I searched 90210 since that is the only zip code I could think of for the USA! :)

This would work really well as a point and click map on a website.
Is such local information what we need to provide to citizens around the world? Is this a collaboration that can grow out of our group?
Best, Jim
