• The Midwest is home to 61 million people who are spread though out the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, and Missouri.
• In between the years of 1900-2010 the temperature of the Midwest increased by more than 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
• If we do not cut back on green gases in the Midwest from the years 1979-2000 to the years of 2046-2065 the temperature will rise 3.8 degrees Fahrenheit, but if we do not cut back global warming will increase 4.9 degrees Fahrenheit with continuous growth in global emissions
• The 10 most rainy days brought 40% of precipitation in a year.
• Global climate model predict that the average precipitation of spring and winter in the years of 2071-2099 will be increased by 10%% to 20%, but they do not expect a change in summer and fall.

With the changes in the lake there will be a decrease in the amount of cargo that can be carried on boats, messing with human life. Together the great lake contains 84% of North America fresh water supply and provides water for 40 million people around the Midwest. With the water temperature rising, it increases the chances of blue-green toxic algae that will reduce water quality. Rising temperatures also stops winter ice cover, which can leave shores more open to waves, increase erosion and flooding, and damage fish habitat and property.
Climate change will have a huge impact on agriculture and ecosystems in the mid-west. Agricultural lands in the Midwest makes up two-thirds of the regions land area and produce 65% of the nation soybeans and corn. Climate related impact may cause short-term benefit for agriculture, but negative affect can occur during this time. Increased carbon-dioxide levels in the air can speed up the growing process of crop during the growing season. Warmer weather for example extreme heat, stressed animals which can cause a decrease meat produce, milk, and
