Some Florida cities are getting hotter, but the evolution has more to
do with bulldozers and pavement than global warming.
Dr. Morton Winsberg’s research (at Florida State University) suggests
that local land-use changes — urban development and draining wetlands
— may be contributing more to local climate change than global
warming.
On a regional level, Florida state climatologist David Zierden says,
historical records show that southeastern Alabama, Georgia and north
and central Florida have not experienced steady warming, but rather
relatively warm periods, such as the 1930s through the 1950s, followed
by relatively cool periods, such as the 1960s through the 1980s.
