Southern California has recently been experiencing sudden temperature changes and storms, as is the rest of the United States. This article is diving deeper on this crazy weather problem and how it's linked to global warming. The United Nations Intergovernmental panels on climate change have been researching for many years the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere by human activity, mainly from consuming carbon-based fuels. As the atmosphere warms, even slightly, it absorbs more moisture. This is accelerated by warming of the oceans and the resulting increase in evaporation. This doesn’t necessarily lead to more storms, but it does result in storms being more severe, with stronger winds and greater precipitation. In the long run, as the climate continues to warm, the weird weather events will more and more be of the warm mixture such as monsoons and hurricanes, mainly in the middle latitudes, where the ocean and atmosphere are warmer. Find out what we've been experiencing in the recent months when you read this interesting and sadly true article.
