Climate change isn\u2019t just one thing: rising temperatures, or sea level rise. It\u2019s also changes to rainfall, increased risk of wildfires, more powerful hurricanes. The extent to which any of these are threats depends on where you live: North Dakota doesn\u2019t have much to worry about rising sea levels, but it should<\/em> think about drought. That\u2019s what this interactive map from the New York Times<\/em><\/a> attempts to measure: the climate risks to the United States on a county-by-county basis.<\/p>\n
