Impact on Northeast US

Union of Concerned Scientists

If heat-trapping emissions are not significantly curtailed, global warming will substantially change critical aspects of the Northeast's character and economy ... Winters will be on average 8 to 12 degrees warmer by the end of the century, and summers 6 to 14 degrees hotter ... the environment of the Northeast would be transformed, and Boston, Atlantic City, New York and other cities would all be subject to disastrous flooding on a regular basis.
