41 U.S. States Show Warming Trends Over Seven Decades
• A study reveals that 41 of 48 contiguous U.S. states have experienced warming trends since the mid-20th century.
• Researchers identified a 'warming hole' in seven states (Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, and Arkansas) where no significant warming was detected.
• The study emphasizes the importance of considering the full range of temperature data, not just averages, to understand climate change impacts.
Study shows warming trends in most U.S. states
A new study published in PLOS Climate indicates that 41 out of 48 contiguous U.S. states have experienced warming trends since the mid-20th century. Researchers from Spanish universities analyzed tens of thousands of daily temperature readings dating back to 1950 to reach this conclusion. The study highlights significant regional variability in temperature changes across the country.
