Prior to the 1970s US autumn temperatures were much warmer, but according to National Geographic trees are changing color later due to global warming
“fall is getting warmer as a result of climate change, jeopardizing these beloved colors. Last year, Earth saw its 4th warmest October since record keeping began 113 years ago. This year is shaping up to be no different, following the planet’s hottest recorded summer. And the Northeast, famous for its vibrant fall foliage, is warming faster than the rest of North America.”
