Environment Ohio unveiled the interactive weather map at a press conference Thursday where spokesman Sam Gerard said, “We used to think of climate change as a problem that would happen someday, somewhere. But as this map helps demonstrate, global warming is happening now and it’s hitting all too close to home.”

The map, which uses Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster data since 2010, does not include historical data, so users cannot compare the frequency of severe weather decade to decade. And to some degree it reflects political decisions by different state leaders to seek FEMA disaster declarations and seek funding.

While the scientific community agrees that the earth’s surface temperatures are rising, some political conservatives cast doubt on whether climate change is real and other political leaders debate whether human activity is the cause.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who is running for the GOP presidential nomination, has said on the campaign trail that he believes climate change exists, but he isn’t sure how much humans are causing it.

“Do I believe there is something called climate change? I do. Do I think that human beings affect it? I do. How much? Not enough for me to go out and cost somebody their job,” said Kasich in Iowa in October, according to a YouTube clip of his town hall speech. “I don’t know that that’s why you have flooding. I just don’t know enough about it.”
