The state of Texas battled a devastating deep freeze last winter that resulted in up to $155 billion in damages and economic loss, according to AccuWeather estimates, and a new study published in ...
The Arctic is rapidly changing from the climate crisis, with no "new normal," scientists warn. Wildfires and permafrost thaw are making the tundra emit more carbon than it absorbs.
An Arctic air mass kept its grip on much of the central and eastern U.S. on Friday, plunging temperatures to record lows as snow blanketed central Colorado and the Pacific Northwest braced for an ...
Due to climate change in the Arctic, this polar region is expected to become "profoundly different" by 2050. [1]: 2321 The speed of change is "among the highest in the world", [1]: 2321 with the rate of warming being 3-4 times faster than the global average.
A Blue Norther, also known as a Texas Norther, is a fast moving cold front marked by a rapid drop in temperature, strong winds, and dark blue or "black" skies. The cold front originates from the north, hence the "norther", and can send temperatures plummeting by 20 or 30 degrees in merely minutes.
Climate change can also be used more broadly to include changes to the climate that have happened throughout Earth's history. [32] Global warming—used as early as 1975 [33] —became the more popular term after NASA climate scientist James Hansen used it in his 1988 testimony in the U.S. Senate. [34] Since the 2000s, climate change has ...
The arctic chill will be ending, and cities will begin warming up, with some seeing daily high temperatures increase by close to 30 degrees over the course of three or four days.
As the Arctic continues receiving energy from the sun during this time, the land, which is mostly free of snow by now, can warm up on clear days when the wind is not coming from the cold ocean. Over the Arctic Ocean the snow cover on the sea ice disappears and ponds of melt water start to form on the sea ice, further reducing the amount of ...
