Description: "This study draws on recent advances in climate modeling to assess how global warming may further affect the Northeast's climate. Using projections from three state-of-the-art global climate models, we compare the types and magnitude of climate changes that will result from higher emissions of heat-trapping gases versus lower emissions. The first scenario is a future where people--individuals, communities, businesses, states, and nations--allow emissions to continue growing rapidly, and the second is one in which society transitions onto a pathway of economic development with substantially lower emissions."--P.  1.
