Interesting. I live a couple hours northeast of Anchorage, Alaska. It is a remote, mountainous area that is also in a rain shadow to some extent, thus fairly dry. I was having dinner recently with a local who has lived here his whole life of 60+ years. He said it is remarkable the increase in shrubs, trees, and general greening of the area since when he was a teenager. Places that were open tundra are now impassable. I'm sure some is increase in temperature, but CO2 could also be a factor.
- mullingitover 7y agoAlaska has seen the biggest changes in temperatures in the US. It's not a good thing. > Over the past 60 years, the average temperature across Alaska has increased by approximately 3°F. This increase is more than twice the warming seen in the rest of the United States. https://19january2017snapshot.epa.gov/climate-impacts/climate-impacts-alaska_.html https://19january2017snapshot.epa.gov/climate-impacts/climat...
