Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) Senior Research Scientist C. Adam Schlosser and deputy director of the MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy (CS3), spoke with Joshua Miller of The Boston Globe’s Camberville & Beyond newsletter about weather, climate and how warming temperatures could impact the Northeastern US. Schlosser explains that: “warmer air can carry more moisture, more vapor. So, imagine again a future for the Northeast where everything is risen by a few degrees. It’s not just the daytime temperatures, but the nighttime temperatures. The amount of vapor in the air has a big impact on nighttime temperatures, and on hot, humid nights, your body’s ability to cool is diminished.”
