- Precipitation from extreme events in the GOM region has increased 74 percent since 1958 (NOAA).<\/li>\n
- Extreme weather already poses economic and ecological challenges, and these events are expected to grow more frequent in coming decades, with precipitation increasing 5-9 percent (IPCC 2013).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- By 2050, climate scientists project a more rapid increase of 2.5 to 3.5\u00b0C (4.5 to 6.3\u00b0 F) in regional air temperature (IPCC 2013).<\/li>\n
- Temperatures in the Gulf of Maine have risen much more in recent decades than many other coastal waters around the world, and a 2012 “heat wave” in sea surface temperatures had damaging economic impacts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

This one-minute animation by Ole Christoffer Haga, produced by Teddy TV for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, clearly and humorously illustrates the difference between long-term climate trends and variable weather patterns.<\/p>\n
