Northeast and Midwest U.S. projected to warm faster than national average<\/h1>\n

The U.S. Northeast and Midwest will warm quickly in the coming decades compared to national and global averages, reaching established temperature benchmarks sooner than most of the rest of the country, and the world, according to recent\u00a0\u00a0published in PLOS ONE.<\/p>\n

Under the Paris Agreement, to date\u00a0by 148 of the nearly 200 countries that negotiated the deal, national governments pledged to do what they could to limit the rise of global mean temperatures to less than 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the Paris Agreement, people have been focusing a lot on limiting warming to below 2 degrees Celsius,\u201d says\u00a0Ambarish Karmalkar<\/a>, a geoscientist at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (UMass), and lead author of the new study. This target offers a tangible goal, he says, although most climate scientists agree the planet\u2019s average temperature will probably cross this threshold regardless of the agreement.<\/p>\n

Still, because \u201cglobal warming rates differ around the world,\u201d Karmalkar says, it\u2019s important to focus on regional- and local-scale projections, which will help local stakeholders plan for changes to ecology, agriculture and hydrology in their areas. \u201cThe impacts of climate change happen locally,\u201d he says. \u201cSo it makes sense to give local planners as much information as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
