Climate Change Might Cause Worse Winters

You have probably seen many stories about the huge amounts of snow that fell in Massachusetts this past winter, but you may not have heard that it is likely that such winters will likely become more common in the future. Climate change is causing more water to evaporate and later fall as snow, which will probably make winters as devastating as the last a more common occurrence. This could force us to figure out ways to prevent the damage that happened last winter from happening every year.

  1. It say the "dry are getting drier and the wet are getting wetter" in the artivle and we are definitely experiencing that over here. Our drought is one of the worst in our history! And from what I gather you'r snow fall is breaking records! But are we doing anything about either?

  2. learning about how the climate change is effecting Massachusetts is concerning to me especially when I apply it to here in California. The article says that the"Increasing snowfall Will continue to happen not only In the next couple of years but for decades to come." If these rules of global warming are applied to us here in California the drought could continue for decades as well. It is scary to think about because not only will we need drinking water, but the farmers also need water to grow food.
