Climate Change and Changing Seasons in Wisconsin and the Great Lakes Region
The scientific consensus is that the Earth is experiencing a significant change in its climate but the type of change varies from region to region. From the global perspective the overall temperature of our planet is warming and has been since the mid 1800s. This warming has caused some regional locations to become warmer but some are getting colder. Some local regions have been experiencing more precipitation and storms while others are becoming more arid. What about Wisconsin and the larger Great Lakes Region? Are these places getting warmer or colder, wetter or drier, and are these changes uniform in all of the seasons? This presentation will answer those questions as we explore the changes in the climate in our area and how those conditions may continue to change into the future.
