The Biden Administration on Tuesday released its latest National Climate Assessment. Dave Reidmiller of the Gulf of Maine Research Institute led the development of the last climate assessment. This time he's an author of the Northeast chapter in the report. He says it highlights the rapid pace of the changes in recent years, especially the frequency of extreme events like coastal flooding, heavy precipitation, marine heat waves and wildfires. Reidmiller says although the impacts are dire, the report is also chock full of hope. "When you flip through these pages you see solution after solution after solution.”
