A new climate projection map released on March 31 by scientists from Climate Central shows predictions for the next nine decades. The projection map depicts northern states of the continental United States experiencing fewer and fewer freezing temperatures.
According to the prediction map, over the next 90 years the likelihood of temperatures reaching below freezing in March throughout many of the northern states drops dramatically. In some instances, such as in Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, South Dakota and Oregon, there won’t even be below freezing temperatures in March.
And let’s not kid ourselves. There will be those – comedians and layman alike – who will tout this as a boon for humanity; or at least humanity within the top third of the USA.
