Winter Temperature Trends, 1975 to 2007
Temperatures are rising faster in winter than in any other season, especially in many key agricultural regions. This allows many insect pests and crop diseases to expand and thrive, creating increasing challenges for agriculture. As indicated by the map, the Midwest and northern Great Plains have experienced increases of more than 7ºF in average winter temperatures over the past 30 years. Image Reference: NOAA/NCDC1
