Climate on the Move: Changing Summers in New Hampshire
Yellow arrows track what summers are projected to feel like under a lower emissions scenario,1 while red arrows track projections for a higher emissions scenario1 (referred to as “even higher” in figure from Global Climate Change section). For example, under the higher emission scenario,1 by late this century residents of New Hampshire would experience a summer climate more like what occurs today in North Carolina.2 Image Reference: Hayhoe et al.2; Image Source: Frumhoff et al.3
