Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Climate Change and Environmental Issues Far north feels worst effects of warming

Sometimes it is a little hard to take global climate change so very seriously. After all, for all the hoopla, average temperatures have only changed a small amount.

There is another way of looking at it. Even that small change means that spring arrives 1, 2, or 3 weeks earlier(from a temperature perspective). And Winter also come later (from a temperature perspective). The result is that the fire danger season is both increased and made more severe. As a result, we will likely see more wild fires and more severe fires.
