Hotness. A change in the growing zones, more and different plants will survive in our climate. Too bad our dummy governor won't smarten up and get with the program.
PITTSBURGH —
Pennsylvania this week quietly released an updated report on what impact future climate change may have on the state, about 18 months after it was due. The Pennsylvania Climate Impacts Assessment Update was posted to an open database, but state officials issued no news release.
The report paints a mixed picture of possible impacts, with many uncertainties for the time frame after 2050.
Marc McDill, a Penn State University forestry expert who worked on the report, said the evidence is "very, very strong" that Pennsylvania's climate is going to change significantly. He said that by 2050, the climate here will be more like Virginia's, and by 2100, similar to what Georgia's is now...
Christina Simeone, chairwoman of the Pennsylvania Climate Change Advisory Committee, said the delay in releasing the report and the lack of a news release are part of a pattern. She is with the environmental group Penn Future.
"That suggests this administration does not believe that climate change exists," Simeone said of Corbett's team, despite overwhelming consensus from top scientists around the world who say they are about as certain that global warming is a real, man-made threat as they are that cigarettes kill.
