Not every weather fluctuation is demonstrably affected by climate change. But the impact of the steady increase in global temperature is now detectable in many extreme weather events—and likely many of the more normal ones, too, says Justin Mankin, a climate scientist at Dartmouth College.

President-elect Trump’s nominee for Interior secretary, sat for a largely cordial hearing before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on

SCARBOROUGH (WGME) -- Homeowners insurance premiums have risen sharply in Maine over the last few years, driven in-part by seven natural disasters in the state and skyrocketing property values.
