"In fall 2050, Pete Carroll will be entering his 41st season as the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. As he walks the streets, he will notice that the outdoor summer temperature reminds him of his days at USC. Due to climate change, Seattle’s future average temperature will look a lot more like Los Angeles’ today. Kings County’s average July temperature over the years 1968 to 2002 was 65 degrees. One climate change model (with the catchy name CCSM) predicts that Seattle’s average July temperature will be 71 degrees in the year 2070."
