The Impacts of Global Warming and Climate Changeon the Mid-Atlantic Allegheny Highlands.  (Allegheny Highlands Climate Change Impacts Initiative, January 2015)
The scientific evidence is clear – the distinctive ecology and economy of the Mid - Atlantic Allegheny Highlands are "on the chopping block."
Climate change caused by global warming is in creasing temperatures in the Highlands region , and causing significant changes in historic weather patterns, more intense precipitation and flooding events , rain replacing snow , more seasonal drought, threatening the widespread loss of historic ecosystems and related wildlife , forest ry, and sporting resources.
