A recent report -- the "Pennsylvania Climate Impact Assessment," authored by researchers at Penn State University says depending on how much the climate changes, Pennsylvania could look more like the North Carolina of today, or if less severe, maybe Maryland.
Either way, life as we know it will change especially in agriculture, tourism, wildlife and fish management, and the products the state produces.
How long will it be before we see these changes and are we sure that's where we're heading? Are there positives to a different climate in Pennsylvania? What are the negatives?
