Great question! Global warming problems certainly did appear in that area. Roving blackouts and heat exhaustion were the prevailing issues. We need to ask, why is this the case!
One answer lies in an issue call heat islands. We have seen much high local temperature rises in cities and other developed areas. The reason is the increased amount of cement and tar in these areas. The dark colors used on roofs and the massive increase in air handlers has also been an issue for local heat events.
In 1976 air conditioning was a rare luxury. Today even the poorest among us have units. These expel massive amounts of heat and consume energy. Want to do something to make a cooler temp in your area? Build your home with a white roof (Increased albedo effect). Turn off your air conditioner and use less fuel.

What are the measures taken by the New Zealand government against global warming?
One of the important initiatives of the New Zealand government was to introduce a price on carbon emissions. The sky did not fall in, and New Zealanders can be proud that they are playing their part to minimise global warming.
What effect is global warming having on the more economically developed countries - MEDCs?
Global warming and climate change is affecting all countries. Poorer countries will be less able to make changes to support their citizens and will be more at risk from changes like famines and crop failures. Weather changes, however, will affect all countries, rich and poor, and low-lying areas near the coast will be flooded. Recent flooding filled subways and tunnels in New York, knocking out electricity for days.
How is electricity consumption contributing to global warming and how will this affect the future?
Any one person's electricity consumption makes an extremely small contribution to global warming, but any one person can also make a contribution to minimising global warming by reducing electricity consumption as much as possible. Every small increment in greenhouse gas emissions is moving us closer to the future when uncontrolled global warming could have catastrophic effects on our economic and social wellbeing. Electricity is usually generated by burning fossil fuels - coal, oil and gas - releasing additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, the continued release of new carbon dioxide into the atmosphere results in global warming. Global warming, in turn, causes climate change - more frequent storms, flooding, drought, and rising sea levels. If allowed to continue out of control, this will have a catastrophic effect on our economic and social wellbeing.
What are the main reasons that animals are being affected by Global Warming?
Global warming is changing the habitats of animals. If the food no longer grows for rabbits, because the climate has changed, then they die out. Animals that feed on rabbits also have to find new food. If they don't, they die too. If they can't move or adapt to their new environment, they don't survive.
Could global warming cause a large wave to tower over New York?
No, not tower over New York. Global warming will certainly flood low-lying areas of New York.

Does global warming affect the red panda?
Global warming is not yet a threat to red pandas. Their biggest threat comes from loss of habitat due to expanding population moving into their territories. Red pandas can't adapt to new environments.
Why doesn't New York Mayor make tourism illegal since it contributes to global warming?
Tourism contributes to global warming, yes, but if the tourists stayed at home, they would still be contributing to global warming by using electricity, transport, heating, and all the other ways we contribute to global warming. Tourism helps the local economy, which is why is still legal. When all travel is banned (except from renewable energy) many tourists will have to stay at home.

How does global warming affect mortality?
Global warming is changing the habitats of many animals, including humans'. Those who can't adapt to the new environment have to move or perish. Britain's chief scientist was asked what were the chances for the human race by the year 2100. He replied, "Fifty-fifty!"
