In a Lowell, Mass., cemetery on Memorial Day 1868, a photograph captured mourners in heavy winter clothing gathered under leafless trees near the graves of two brothers killed in the Civil War
At the same spot on Memorial Day 2005, cemetery visitors wore light spring clothes. The trees were in full flower.
These photographs are a close-to-home reminder of the effects of global warming, said Boston University biology professor Richard Primack and BU graduate student Abraham Miller-Rushing at a Feb. 21 Soap Box event, “Global Warming: Up Close and Local,” at the MIT Museum. [link]
