Heard On University Of The Air
A world map showing temperature change trends from 1973 to 2023, with the Arctic region experiencing the largest warming, indicated by red and orange colors.

In the last few decades Wisconsin has experienced some unusual weather–lakes freezing later and thawing earlier, summer nights with the temperature never going below 70 degrees, and heavier rainfalls. Climatologists Daniel Vimont and Steve Vavrus get into the reasons for the change and discuss how we can adapt to it.
