It could very well be that general
warming along with high sea - surface temperatures have lengthened the tropical storm
season, making it more likely that a Sandy could form, travel so far north, and have an opportunity to interact with a deep jet - stream trough

Owing to the decreased number of spatial degrees of freedom in the earliest reconstructions (
associated with significantly decreased calibrated variance before e.g. 1730 for annual - mean and cold -
season, and about 1750 for
warm -
season pattern reconstructions) regional inferences are most meaningful in the mid 18th century and later, while the largest - scale averages are useful further back in time.
Increased weed and pest pressure
associated with longer growing
seasons and
warmer winters will be an increasingly important challenge; there are already examples of earlier arrival and increased populations of some insect pests such as corn earworm.64 Furthermore, many of the most aggressive weeds, such as kudzu, benefit more than crop plants from higher atmospheric carbon dioxide, and become more resistant to herbicide control.72 Many weeds respond better than most cash crops to increasing carbon dioxide concentrations, particularly «invasive» weeds with the so - called C3 photosynthetic pathway, and with rapid and expansive growth patterns, including large allocations of below - ground biomass, such as roots.73 Research also suggests that glyphosate (for example, Roundup), the most widely - used herbicide in the United States, loses its efficacy on weeds grown at the increased carbon dioxide levels likely to occur in the coming decades.74 To date, all weed / crop competition studies where the photosynthetic pathway is the same for both species favor weed growth over crop growth as carbon dioxide is increased.72
Thawing permafrost also delivers organic - rich soils to lake bottoms, where decomposition in the absence of oxygen releases additional methane.116 Extensive wildfires also release carbon that contributes to climate
warming.107, 117,118 The capacity of the Yukon River Basin in Alaska and adjacent Canada to store carbon has been substantially weakened since the 1960s by the combination of
warming and thawing of permafrost and by increased wildfire.119 Expansion of tall shrubs and trees into tundra makes the surface darker and rougher, increasing absorption of the sun's energy and further contributing to
warming.120 This
warming is likely stronger than the potential cooling effects of increased carbon dioxide uptake
associated with tree and shrub expansion.121 The shorter snow - covered
seasons in Alaska further increase energy absorption by the land surface, an effect only slightly offset by the reduced energy absorption of highly reflective post-fire snow - covered landscapes.121 This spectrum of changes in Alaskan and other high - latitude terrestrial ecosystems jeopardizes efforts by society to use ecosystem carbon management to offset fossil fuel emissions.94, 95,96
