Expect Delaware summers to get hotter and temperatures closer to those of Savannah, Georgia.
That’s what national climate expert Katherine Hayhoe told a state panel yesterday if global warming is left unchecked.
The Texas Tech University professor worked as a consultant on a report called the Delaware Climate Change Impact Assessment.
She said that a certain amount of change has already occurred adding that the state needs to plan for reducing their impact.
The $46-thousand report comes as the panel plans to give its final recommendations by November on how to deal with issues such as sea level rise which could have a dramatic impact on the state’s shoreline and wetlands as well droughts on farmland.
