Summers in Northern Hemisphere may last for 6 months by 2100

India Today  

False spring, snowfall in May and other unseasonable weather reports have raised an alarm, hinting at potential climate crisis in coming years. In addition to this, a recent study indicates that summers in the Northern Hemisphere could last for six months by 2100 and global warming is the reason behind this seasonal shift. "Increasing evidence suggests that the length of a single season or in regional scales has changed under global warming, but a hemispherical-scale response of the four seasons in the past and future remains unknown," the study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letter, said. "Summers are getting longer and hotter while winters shorter and warmer due to global warming," said Yuping Guan, lead author of the new study and physical oceanographer at the State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology. Physical oceanographer Yuping Guan said, "Numerous studies have already shown that the changing seasons cause significant environmental and health risks."
