Climate change in West Virginia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Climate change in West Virginia
Climate change in West Virginia is of a concern due to the effects on the environment. (詳細はCharleston, West Virginia, has increased 1.1°F (0.61°C), and precipitation has increased by up to 10% in many parts of the state. These past trends may or may not continue into the future. Over the next century, climate in West Virginia may change even more. For example, based on projections made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and results from the United Kingdom Hadley Centre’s climate model (HadCM2), a model that accounts for both greenhouse gases and aerosols, by 2100 temperatures in West Virginia could increase by 3°F (1.67°C) in winter, spring, and summer (with a range of 1-6 °F) and 4°F (2.23°C) in fall (with a range of 2-7 °F). Precipitation is estimated to increase by 20% (with a range of 10-30%) in all seasons, slightly more in summer. Other climate models may show different results, especially regarding estimated changes in precipitation. The impacts described in the sections that follow take into account estimates from different models. The frequency of extreme hot days in summer would increase because of the general warming trend. It is not clear how the severity of storms might be affected, although an increase in the frequency and intensity of summer thunderstorms is possible == Impacts ==
