SEATTLE - If you think living in the Pacific Northwest looks good now, consider the next 100 years.
Atmospherics scientist Cliff Mass of the University of Washington said that as global warming takes hold, we'll be better off than the rest of the lower 48 states.
According to Mass, global warming will affect different parts of the US in different ways.
“The Southwest United States is emphatically going to get drier,” he said. “The models are really all on board about that, and they start off with a water resource problem right now. I mean they have too many people living in an arid area with massive agriculture, so they're already on the edge and so things are not going to get better there. On the other hand, we expect precipitation to actually increase here in the Northwest.”
Mass says much of the country will see record heat, with average highs climbing between five and 10 degrees by century’s end.
“So you'll see record breaking temperatures -- day after day of these heat waves, especially in the summertime,” Mass said.
Then there's the issue of rising sea levels.
“We're talking about probably a one- to two-foot rise during the rest of the century,” Mass said. “Now if you're in Florida, which is only at sea level, there's going to be flooding.”

“The bluest skies you’ve ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green in Seattle
Like a beautiful child
Growing up free and wild”
“day after day of these heat waves, especially in the summertime”
Gee, YA THINK?!!
Great idea! Let’s get all the environmentalist whackos to move to the area where the Yellowstone Supervolcano is going to erupt!
This dudes a whackadoodle
I thought his name was “Applewhite”?
emphatically |emˈfatik(ə)lē| adverb
in a forceful way.
• [ as submodifier ] without doubt; clearly: Jane, though born in California, feels emphatically Canadian | [ sentence adverb ] : Greg is emphatically not a slacker.
I guess those summer monsoons are going to stay in Mexico. /sarc alert
It’s a ‘refuge’ alright. Especially if you’re racists, SJWs, retards and perverts. You’ll fit right in.
That seems really unfair to whackadoodles.
Yep...Doesn’t seem very bright to be a “scientist”, does he????
Mt. Rainier
The Pacific NW is beautiful, except for the idiots living there....
Sorry.....I got excited.
A hundred years from now?
That REALLY scares me.
IDK. Southwest Washington state, a mile or so inland, looks pretty good: forests, mountains, lakes, rivers, and the Pacific Ocean current to keep things mild. But, what do I know, I’m from Texas and live in Florida: muggy heat and more bugs than the rest of the world combined!
Only a mentally deranged, or bipolar individual would make such a claim since there is absolutely no evidence or facts to back up such an absurd notion. What's even more absurd is any newspaper or news organization worth it's salt reporting such lunacy.
Yep, “models” are all they have. That’s their “evidence”. The fact that there’s dozens of them exposes the “settled science” argument. All they have is theories turned into computer models. Even if the models were correct, they “adjust” the historical data being processed. Garbage-in, garbage-out. These models don’t even back-cast very well, let alone forecast accurately.
Not a one of those [BLEEP]s in my back yard!
Montana’s already got its allotment of idiots isolated in the college towns by dire tales about The Badlands, gun owners, bad tasting water and (gasp!) conservative voters east of them and we’ve held the Yellowstone caldera (I’m looking at the North Rim out the kitchen window) as the Grand Boogieman.
Kinda hard to find a computer model that can get bent far enough to equate plastic water bottles or 70’s music to volcanic activity, but I’m sure there are some Grant Whores (like the author of this scam article) who’d give it a ride.
No, thanks. I’ll take a 0.00000001 increase in temperature over the rest of my lifetime than living out my days with some of the worst liberal wackos on earth.
I thought they stopped the Students and Faculty from picking Magic Mushrooms that grow wild on campus years ago. Maybe they need to step up their enforcement a little.
Detroit?? I currently live across from Tacoma (rural bedroom area near Gig Harbor). Seattle may be distasteful politically, but an economic disaster area it is not (or not yet, at any rate). Not my cuppa, though. I hope to make a move to Texas in the next year or two.
