Will the Northeast Be the New Dixie?
Description: In recent decades, the characteristic climate of the Northeast has begun to change dramatically. Between 1970 and 2000 alone, summer temperatures rose about one degree Fahrenheit (ºF) and winter temperatures rose nearly 4 ºF. Spring is arriving sooner, summers are growing hotter, and winters are becoming warmer and less snowy. These changes bear the fingerprint of global warming.
