SUMMARY:Climate Change: Local to Global and Back Again\, Physics Depar
 tment Colloquium\, John Magnuson\, Emeritus Professor of Zoology and L
 imnology\, UW-Madison
DESCRIPTION:While Climate Change is global in extent\, the impacts are
  felt locally and can provide strong evidence for climate change. Lake
  Mendota ice cover is useful as a miner's canary and when combined wit
 h global ice information can indicate global warming. The Intergovernm
 ental Panel on Climate Change shared the Nobel Peace prize in 2007 for
  its science synthesis. Its analyses reveal that the pattern of change
  in temperature and precipitation are heterogeneous around the world. 
 These differences point to markedly different impacts in different reg
 ions of the globe. The challenges of climate change are to mitigate th
 e causes to reduce the magnitude of change and to adapt to the inevita
 ble changes that are occurring. In Wisconsin the Governors Task Force 
 is considering the mitigation issues and the Wisconsin Initiative on C
 limate Change Impacts (WICCI) is considering adaptation. Both require 
 action and taking a long-term view.
