Parts of United States are heating faster than globe as a whole | John Abraham

A new study shows the Northeast USA will reach the dangerous 2C warming threshold faster than most of the rest of the planet

Global warming obviously refers to temperature increases across the entire globe. We know the Earth is warming, we know it is human-caused, we have a pretty good idea about how much the warming will be in the future and what some of the consequences are. In fact, when it comes to the Earth's average climate, scientists have a pretty good understanding.

On the other hand, no one lives in the average climate. We live spread out north, west, east, and south. On islands, large continents, inland or in coastal regions. Many of us want to know what's going to happen to the climate where we live. How will my life be affected in the future?
