See, you really didn't experience the worst blizzard in the past 40 years yesterday.It was actually very warm out and most folks were out strolling in the park with shorts and sandals on, enjoying the warm winter sun. When I snap my fingers, you will snap out of your global warming dream...
The Midwest will see the most dramatic temperature rise in upcoming decades due to global warming, according to a new analysis of U.S. climate data released Thursday by the Nature Conservancy. In just the next 40 years, if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise at their current rate, average temperatures are expected to rise by more than 5 degrees across much of the USA, with the greatest temperature increases expected in Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Illinois. "The surprise was that the biggest changes were in the Heartland and the Great Plains," says Jonathan Hoekstra, director of climate change for the Nature Conservancy. So far, he said the western USA has been the area that has seen the most warming.
