Northeast warming more rapidly than most of US (Aieee!)

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 region’s 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 they’re 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...

!&*%$#@!...’year’s end’ should have been ‘month’s end’.

‘I remember when it used to snow in Boston,’

I need a website to keep these predictions in a calendar/table and marks them false! 2025 people, it better not snow in Boston.

Now, unfortunately, I won’t be around at the end of the century to see this, but

And, of course, the prediction will be wrong.

Just as virtually all the rest have proven wrong.

Wonder which “tactic” the D grade “researtchers” used.

Data changes?

Inept math analysis?

Studies majors in the only field that uses them?

[acapesket]

Their data came from the source of all GWS data...Bongs!

I'd be willing to bet that <5% of said graduate mental masturbators can change the oil in their Prius:

It uses and generates research and theory to understand the sociocultural and historical contexts and dynamics of specific manifestations of oppression in social systems.
These include but are not limited to racism, classicism, ableism, sexism, heterosexism, religious oppression, transgender oppression and youth oppression.
SJE brings together faculty and students with interests in issues of social diversity inclusion, equity, social justice, critical theories, cultural studies, ethnic studies,
feminist studies, critical pedagogies, critical methodologies, dialogues across differences, youth and community-based research and practice.

Print and disseminate the above.

A small are of the earth might be warmer in the future and they blame it on “global warming”. Doesn’t “global” mean global?

..ice melty thing..

LOL !

[bgill]

Blame the hot air coming out of DC.

A 10’ sea level rise?

I don't think that we would see a 10’ rise if all the ice on earth melted at once.

If the good professor knew any math, he would understand the sheer volume of the earth's surface, if the increase in water was evenly distributed.

A BOtE calculation shows 50,000 cubic miles of volume added to a sphere 7,958 miles in diameter, if the sphere increases in size by 0.002%.

Not including the volume of the original ice.

Lucky bums

[BlueStateRightist]

Boston had an all-time record snowfall of 111 inches in 2014-15. These “scientists” are just political hacks.

[xp38]

Venus and Mars are the evil step planets right?

[Gumdrop]

Here in Minnesota, I would be happy to turn east and blow very hard to send this cold snap over to you.

Are you folks afraid that you will no longer have such good pond hockey players?

Hell, I don’t know - I’m in Central Texas in shorts and a tee shirt.

Head of the EPA Gina McCarthy is a UMass Boston grad...in anthropology.

People here are loving the warm weather. I noticed these clowns didn’t have a news story last week when it was 10 degrees.

[billyboy15]

Warm mid January weather in the NE is called the “January thaw” and has been going on forever.

So now we have a new slogan too deal with. Instead of “Global” Warming we will have to put up with listening to the fools about “Regional” Warming.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Two years ago, Boston had the most snow of any winter in the history of the city.

You mean that quote isn't satire?!!! I'm dying here. This is the state of "higher" education!
