Study identifies U.S. states with steepest warming since 1980
A national analysis maps regional temperature increases across America, finding uneven warming trends that demand local adaptation strategies.
What to know
- A national study maps U.S. states by warming intensity since 1980, finding global average temperature has risen 1.63°C above preindustrial baseline.
- Regional warming is uneven across the country, with some areas warming faster than others.
- Local adaptation and resilience strategies are needed to protect ecosystems, agriculture, and infrastructure in high-warming regions.

Your 'doom quote' for today: "The global temperature rose 0.2°C between the middle 1960s and 1980, yielding a warming of 0.4°C in the past century. This temperature increase is consistent with the calculated effect due to measured increases of atmospheric carbon dioxide." (Hansen, 1981)
