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. [Source: Catalyst: The Magazine of the Union of Concerned Scientists]
