January 2020 was the Earth's hottest recorded January on average. And the four warmest Januaries have all occurred since 2016. Here's how these changes are affecting states across America. 👇

, dengue cases could go up across the Southeast in the summer, and West Nile will likely increase too.In Maine, skiing, snowmobiling and ice fishing are an important part of the winter economy. Greg Sweetser, of the Ski Maine Association, says ski areas are preparing for climate change by expanding into summer businesses, such as mountain biking.

Deer ticks transmit several diseases, including Lyme, which has grown from a few hundred cases in Maine more than a decade ago to a high last year of more than 2,100. Cases of another tick-borne disease, anaplasmosis, have also surged in the state to more than 680, up from just single cases in the early 2000s.

Vector ecologist Chuck Lubelczyk says warmer winters also help create a more hospitable climate for other species and the diseases they carry. The lone star tick has already been found in Maine, dropped by migratory birds from the south. Historically, it hasn't been able to survive the winter, but that's changing.

LeoDiCaprio How is LeoDiCaprio possibly preaching all the time about saving the environment? The guy flies on a private jet, owns 6 different homes and 10 different cars (only one is electric). So please tell how that is efficient? Like all of Hollywood “do as I say, not as I do”

LeoDiCaprio 'Hottest recorded' does NOT mean hottest ever!

LeoDiCaprio Please tell potus. Climate change is no 'hoax.'

LeoDiCaprio Joe Biden has an F- rating on the environment- Bernie Sanders has an A

LeoDiCaprio You all need to sleep more ...the math is human but not emissions...it is a collective consciousness engine that ceaselessly stays awake ..billions of minds turning earth ..without ever using the brakes ..the brakes being sleeping and dreaming ..

LeoDiCaprio I love you❤️

LeoDiCaprio *since you’ve been keeping track of the weather from 1800. What about the millions of other years our planet has been around?

LeoDiCaprio It was the hottest winter for the last couple decades, due to my personal experience. Even few years ago there were much more snow and lower temperature. It seems that we are changing the Earth, but not for better.

LeoDiCaprio Can’t believe people actually believe this stuff

LeoDiCaprio Here where I live in Brazil it's getting hotter every year ... but it's really hot!

LeoDiCaprio ☝️♻️🌎♻️🌎🎥🛰🛰🛰🛰🛰

LeoDiCaprio you're right I understand you and I understand you perfectly I agree with you absolutely what you posted was a really rather unusual climate You are My Great Pride Mister Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio❤️

LeoDiCaprio Construction and clear-cutting are the reasons. Put all living vegetation and trees on the endangered species list.

LeoDiCaprio Maybe Hollywood cutting back on their own carbon footprint would help as well. What is it, probably 50 times as much as the average person?

LeoDiCaprio 🙏🙏🙏

LeoDiCaprio 😅❤❤

LeoDiCaprio Please run for President Leo. We need you.

LeoDiCaprio 💚❤️💚❤️

LeoDiCaprio Thanks sir Leo you're the best love you forever sir big fan from India 💗💗

Here in NY, I've actually noticed that this winter has not been nearly as frigid as prior ones up here. On certain days back in January, it felt *almost* spring-like, kinda weirded me out. It's definitely apparent that climate change will lead to a crisis situation w/our planet,

LeoDiCaprio Global warming/climate change ain’t no joke

LeoDiCaprio Up in flames, sitting in sulfur pits of hell having lost sight of natures signs in end times as many lie sedated on purgatory's wine. The world cooks so only beasts in high heat thrive outside confines. Grown soft & blind to Earth's rhythms, this will be our harsh reminder.

LeoDiCaprio The summers are getting warmer as well. In the future, man will have to build prodigious buildings(mostly underground) just for oxygen to made and be put back in the air 24-7/ 365 days out of the year. They can produce clean drinking water as well and even vegetables to be eatten

LeoDiCaprio 2016. What a Joke though. Do the math, yea its four years. The Earth remains flat and will continue to heat up until we blow up more whales keep it real

LeoDiCaprio Most people ain't gonna get the message until they are dying or dead.. and then its gonna be way the fuck too late.

LeoDiCaprio How hot do you think the earth had to get to take it out of the ice age The Earth has been around a lot longer than your “records” and man....and it’s climate has changed many times since its creation.

LeoDiCaprio The situation is similar in Europe this Winter is warmer than in 2019...

LeoDiCaprio Any connection to orange glow on prez?

LeoDiCaprio “BuT CliMaTe ChaNgE iSn’T ReAl”🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

LeoDiCaprio So let's go into extinction ...

GZzyzyx We are in Eddy grand Solar minimum and cooling. Look at the Tony Heller videos on YouTube where he relates historical data against the lies told about global warming.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Bullshit. What these fake scientists are claiming cannot be accurately measured.

Key word here is 'recorded.' Less then 200 years of records on a globe more then 3 billion years old. Statistically insignificant.

Not in Alaska lik

I definitely thought it said “the four warmest Januaries all occurred *in* 2016” so I was like, wait a sec...

Not according to Trump supporters

And trump wants to continue destroying our clean air and water. I don’t understand the scorched earth policies of republicans

We had a lightening snow storm in the mountains near Vegas today!

Vote yes! on global warming. Loving this winter!

Yessss! Beat them all to it...
