"Future eastern United States summers look much hotter than originally
predicted with daily highs about 10 degrees warmer than in recent years by
the mid-2080s, a new NASA study says.

Previous and widely used global warming computer estimates predict too many
rainy days, the study says. Because drier weather is hotter, they
underestimate how warm it will be east of the Mississippi River, said
atmospheric scientists Barry Lynn and Leonard Druyan of Columbia University
and NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies."


"Instead of daily summer highs in the 1990s that averaged in the low
to mid 80s Fahrenheit, the eastern United States is in for daily summer
highs regularly in the low to mid 90s, the study found. The study only
looked at the eastern United States because that was the focus of the
funding by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Lynn said.

And that's just the eastern United States as a whole. For individual
cities, the future looks even hotter.

In the 2080s, the average summer high will probably be 102 degrees in
Jacksonville, 100 degrees in Memphis, 96 degrees in Atlanta, and 91 degrees
in Chicago and Washington, according to the study published in the
peer-reviewed journal Climate.

But every now and then a summer will be drier than normal and that means
even hotter days, Lynn said. So when Lynn's computer models spit out
simulated results for July 2085 the forecasted temperatures sizzled past
uncomfortable into painful. The study showed a map where the average high
in the southeast neared 115 and pushed 100 in the northeast. Even Canada
flirted with the low to mid 90s."

"Weaver said looking at the map of a hotter eastern United States he
can think of one thing: "I like living in Canada.""




Looks like the main habitable belt might move north.....I wonder if Canada
should put up a statue saying something about giving her the poor huddled
masses etc.
