One of these is the 6-page summary fact sheet: “Focus on Climate Change.” The fact sheet focuses on indicators, summarizing the report’s findings of sea surface temperature, carbon storage and loss, ecological disturbances (fire, insects and pests), agricultural productivity, coastal wetland areas, and freshwater withdrawals and stream flow.
