๐ New research published in Climate and reported by The Guardian reveals how rapidly New Englandโs environmental conditions are shifting and what that means for people, ecosystems and the seasons that shape regional identity.
The study shows:
๐น New England has warmed by around 2.5ยฐC since 1900 - nearly double the global average.
๐น Winter temperatures are rising fastest, reshaping seasonal rhythms.
๐น Snow-cover days have dropped sharply, with some areas losing 30โ40% since 2000.
๐น These shifts have accelerated in the past five years, signaling a rapidly changing landscape.
The findings highlight how quickly a familiar environment can transform and the scale of action needed to protect ecosystems, communities and cultural traditions built around winter.
