New England is likely to experience significantly greater warming over the next decade, and beyond, than the rest of the planet, according to new findings by climate scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
The regions temperatures are projected to rise by an average of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit above pre-industrial levels by 2025, according to the study, published this week in PLOS One, a journal published by the Public Library of Science...
I tell my students that theyre going to be able to tell their children, I remember when it used to snow in Boston, said Ray Bradley, an author of the study and director of the Climate System Research Center at the University of Massachusetts...
That report, also written by University of Massachusetts researchers, found that sea levels around the city could, in the worst-case scenario, rise more than 10 feet by the end of the century nearly twice what was previously predicted.
That would plunge about 30 percent of Boston under water...

Watch Boston have a blizzard now...
These guys don’t miss a trick. A few warm days and they rush to blame it on Global Warming. Of course, they blame frigid weather on GW too.
Personally, I’d rather not clear snow or pay a huge heating bill. As long as the mountains can make snow for skiing, I’m happy.
Anyone else underwhelmed by this endorsement ?

Same Prediction made in 1990, 2000, 2010 and now 2017 :)
IN TEN YEARS, kids won’t know what snow is, except in pictures!!! lol.
Where was this genius last year when they had to truck snow out of the city because there wasn’t room for more? Anyway, I look forward to two growing seasons for my vegetable garden.
Like relentless cockroaches and rats, they never, ever, ever give up. They keep pushing this.
The Boston Globe and ZooMass Amherst Professors...there is a collective I.Q. combo of 4 for ya.
Because air chooses to localize itself.
May as well make it interesting, and tell the kids that the Earth is flat and a giant sea monster will eat them if they sail off the end. That happens after Santa Claus laughs in their face and throws lumps of coal at them.
Soon we will become a cinder planet.
...while those who have fled blue areas are enjoying a solid spell of global warming in East Tennessee right now. Aaaahh...sweet sixties.
I think they should raise state taxes - that’ll show those Farenheights!
Fake News of Fake science. A twofer.
Didn’t they have snow up to their necks a couple years ago??
The water around Boston may rise 10 feet?
I’m confused about how this whole ice melty thing works, won’t the water rise around New Jersey and Florida and maybe even Europe?/sarc
“That would plunge about 30 percent of Boston under water...”
Well...It’s a start.
Absolutely...I was there for that. Four feet on the ground at one point in soviet Red Hampshire. Storm after storm...all on Mondays.
Temps are forecast to fall back into the upper 40's by the end of January, so winter WILL make a comeback by year's end.
