*In 1825, forecasters predicted decrease in the flow of the Susquehanna River causing a lack of water access, due ot the river's sources staying frozen over too long.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1825-11-22 |title=The Susquehanna and its branches |pages=2 |work=Pennsylvania Republican |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/pennsylvania-republican-susquehanna-clim/105996772/ |access-date=2023-06-16}}</ref> In 2023, climate scientists have pivoted, describing the river as "flood-prone" and stating that climate change poses a risk in terms of temperature increases, rather than decreases.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-03-01 |title=Climate change in Pa.: The flood-prone Susquehanna River watershed poses a widespread challenge |url=https://stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2023/03/01/climate-change-in-pa-the-flood-prone-susquehanna-river-watershed-poses-a-widespread-challenge/ |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=StateImpact Pennsylvania |language=en}}</ref>

*In 1876, worries came of droughts in Massachusetts as a result of deforestation and other manmade activities.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1876-11-11 |title=The Drought in Western Massachusetts |pages=2 |work=New England Farmer |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/new-england-farmer/106211817/ |access-date=2023-06-17}}</ref> Modern climate scientists are now going in the other direction, claiming that Massachusetts will see more precipitation as a result of human activity.<ref>{{Cite web |title=MA Climate Change Clearinghouse |url=https://resilientma.mass.gov/changes/changes-in-precipitation#:~:text=The%20Commonwealth%20receives%20approximately%2048,all%20regions%20of%20the%20state. |access-date=2023-06-17 |website=resilientma.mass.gov}}</ref> It is becoming more evident that perhaps the issue is not with humans, but that sometimes climates vary.
*In 1936, the at-the-time [[Henry A.
