A study by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientists suggests that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions could raise average summer temperatures in the eastern part of the United States nearly 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the 2080s.

Scientists with the Climate Prediction Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on Wednesday said ocean temperatures have “increased remarkably” in the equatorial Pacific in the last two weeks, and these El Niño conditions are likely to continue into early 2007.

Researchers and scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are monitoring the formation of a possible weak El Nino and predict that the United States could experience very weak-to-marginal impacts late winter to early spring 2002, which typically means a colder, wetter winter. However, recent indications show a more neutral El Nino pattern developing, NOAA said. As a result, forecasters, such as EarthSat, now are predicting normal to slightly below normal temperatures this winter.
