"The article discusses climate change and the need for U.S. scientists to develop regional assessments of climate change that are essential to the local policymakers who will have to make the critical decisions about how to respond. It is stated that climate change will not only affect each community differently, but each community has a unique combination of environmental, economic and social factors and its own ways of reaching decisions. It is also stated that the scientific community needs to help by providing local leaders with the specific regional climate information they need to motivate and inform coordinated action."
