More than 71 million Americans felt at least two weeks worth of warmer winter temperatures that were made at least twice as likely to occur due to climate change, a new report has found.

This shift can contribute to worse and longer allergy seasons, affect crops that depend on chilly weather conditions, impact water levels and result in higher cooling demand during warm seasons.
