"Record cold temperatures are once again expected to hit a swath of the country this weekend-even plunging Florida into its coldest stretch of the last 15 years, potentially bringing snow to areas of the state that haven't seen it in four decades. This arctic blast is actually a sign of climate change-and of how extreme weather happens in an increasingly warming world despite erroneous claims by the president and others."
"Ahead of the winter storm that brought intense snow, ice, and freezing temperatures to about two-thirds of the United States earlier this month, President Trump took to Truth Social to repeat a common piece of climate misinformation. "Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 states. Rarely seen anything like it before," he wrote. "Could the Environmental Insurrectionals please explain - WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???""
Record cold temperatures are expected to hit a wide swath of the United States this weekend, plunging Florida into its coldest stretch in 15 years and potentially bringing snow to areas that have not seen it in four decades. The arctic blast reflects climate change and shows how a warming planet can produce more extreme weather events. Weather refers to short-term, variable conditions at a specific time and place. Climate refers to long-term trends and patterns. As the planet warms, average temperatures rise while the frequency and severity of extreme weather events increase.
