If New Hampshire loses its winters, it loses the identity that holds it together economically and culturally (in terms of East Coast tourism). Since 1900, the state has Minnesota and the Upper Midwest face an interesting climate future: summers will inevitably get hotter, while winters will likely face harsher and more intense deep freezes.

Here’s 30 seconds on these dainty but powerful insects, and a plant they’re most often associated with. When you think of Mississippi, you don’t think of wildfire, do you?

Unfortunately, the increased flash flooding and sea level rise won’t be much help.
What are you daydreaming about? 🐕 State #45 showing off. Like much of the Midwest, Iowa is known for its agriculture. When reading about the impacts climate change will have on the state, that too sounded similar to elsewhere in the Midwest. And of course it did—climate change doesn’t care about arbitrary state or country boundary lines. It’s a transnational and transsovereign problem. While states know their needs more acutely than the federal government could presume to, it’s critical we have federal leadership on this issue because it can’t be haphazardly managed by only a handful of states.
