Rapid 20th century warming reverses 900-year cooling in the Gulf of Maine

Warming in the Gulf of Maine, western North Atlantic, since the late 1800s reversed a 900-year cooling trend, likely as a result of increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases, according to ocean temperature and water mass reconstructions from bivalves and climate model simulations.
