All the consequences of a warming planet are exhibited in the above questions, and they are all impactful to our
community.

34
Summer smoke and unsustainable cannabis production is if greatest concern.
6/1/2016 2:01 PM
35
These are all likely climate change impacts that could strongly change our current lifestyles.
6/1/2016 1:47 PM
36
Major impacts to lifestyles. Heat means more air conditioners and fewer people walking or biking.
6/1/2016 1:28 PM
37
These seem the most directly life threatening.
6/1/2016 1:27 PM
38
Economic, social, health and agricultural and other impacts that will affect everyone, especially those with limited
means and mobility.
6/1/2016 1:13 PM
39
All of my research has shown me that these impacts are happening now and will get worse soon.
6/1/2016 12:51 PM
40
I believe that humans contribute to climate change but do not believe we are the sole cause.
Therefore, I am more
concerned about what we can address such as water availability and reacting to wildfires.
6/1/2016 12:49 PM
41
They all concern me. There is considerable overlap, or causal relationship, between said impacts.
6/1/2016 12:38 PM
42
All are equally important.
6/1/2016 10:53 AM
43
Each one is eminent.
6/1/2016 10:48 AM
44
Watershed has a limited supply and a limited carrying capacity and is susceptible to wildfire impacts (as is the whole
community built on the interface).
5/31/2016 7:09 PM
45
They all impact each other.
5/29/2016 7:08 AM
46
We're already experiencing smoky, dry summers and near-miss wild fires.
5/28/2016 10:39 AM
47
All of the above are inter-related. Drought also leads to extreme dust, forest die-off, mega-fires like never before,
extended fire-danger months each year, exploding pollen counts, and effects on our health. These are happening
NOW, not 50 years from now. Ashland may be devastated in 50 years. Let's do something for the next 2, 5, and 10
years. Otherwise, it's too late. We have lost our home to last summers wildfire and are refugees. We are not the only
climate change refugees in Ashland, and definitely not the last.
5/27/2016 12:47 PM
48
Temperature increase and extremes will drive changes to rainfall and wildfire along with human physical impacts
5/26/2016 11:22 AM
49
I am not sure climate change is a man made thing.
5/26/2016 9:48 AM
50
Hard to choose - all so critical!
5/25/2016 10:40 PM
51
All 4 are inter-connected.
Drought my biggest concern.
5/25/2016 3:07 PM
52
our forests MUST be taken care of. Wildfire here in the watershed and forests surrounding Ashland would be a
detriment to all
5/25/2016 7:10 AM
53
We already see wildfires all over the place every summer. With Drought-Emigrant lake almost went dry and a wildfire
could come to town.
5/25/2016 2:57 AM
54
all pretty much related but snowpack and rain may be the biggest impact.
5/24/2016 8:29 PM
55
Water availability is key to life for humans and wildlife.
Wildfire is extremely damaging and dangerous.
5/24/2016 7:51 PM
56
Anything that would heavily impact water ways will be disastrous.
5/24/2016 7:21 PM
57
We have work to do to prepare for drought that is very attainable.
Slow it, spread it, sink it strategies address both
drought and extreme water events.
5/24/2016 7:18 PM
58
Heat drought and fires will impact us all. I grow food and care about human as well as wildlife having enough to eat.
Fires could destroy this whole area, or make it so hard to exist here. And lack of snow pack will impact us, how we
grow crops, and how animals will cope.
5/24/2016 7:03 PM
59
They are all intertwined and impact the livelihood of us all. Plants, animals, and humans alike. The delicate
infrastructure of our natural ecosystems is changing. It is all a threat.
5/24/2016 7:02 PM
60
People, plants and animals have a very narrow window of tolerance.
5/24/2016 6:59 PM
61
All concerns me greatly.
I mostly fear thirst and getting too hot.
5/24/2016 6:57 PM
62
If we run out of water everything dies
end of story and we can't stop fire unless we use our brains to find something
else and inexpensive for alternative. As well as no help for the other problems if the water is gone
5/24/2016 6:37 PM
63
Water is crucial to our health and well being on every level.
