The article discusses the relationship between land use and climate change in America, focusing on the environmental conditions in the nation and a 2009 report from the U.S. Global Change Research Program which addresses flooding in the Northeast portion of the nation, as well as droughts and fires in the Southwest region of the U.S. The judgment of the nation's Supreme Court in the case Massachusetts v.
