The Northward March of Agriculture
One of the most visible consequences of severe climate change will be the massive northward shift of agricultural zones. The 2012 Plant Hardiness Zone Map updated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture in late 2023 and shows some zone shifts that might be because of global warming. However, the map creators caution that the climate change signal is obscured by the variable nature of extreme minimum temperatures, changing mapping methods, and inclusion of data from more weather stations.
