The overall temperature for California has increased over the past few years, and is expected to increase again over the next few years. This climate change has led to a reduction in the amount of snow that will be falling on the Sierras. This snow is vital as California’s water supply, California relies on the snow melt off for several months throughout the year, and without it the State is facing some hard times. The loss of this snow will also affect the tourism and agricultural businesses. Some experts believe that there will be a reduction in the amount of farm land available in California after the loss of this water resource is lost.
