Study Reveals Longer, More Intense Summers in Global Cities
A study led by scientist Ted Scott and researchers from the University of British Columbia has found that summers are becoming longer and more intense in global cities, including Minneapolis, Minnesota. The research, published in Environmental Research Letters, shows that summer conditions are arriving earlier and lasting longer due to human-induced global heating. The study analyzed temperature data from 1961-1990 and found that summer length is increasing by an average of six days per decade, with Minneapolis experiencing a nine-day increase.
