Heat Waves Grow Hotter
Who Knew the Climate Would Be Affected by Global Warming and Heat Waves Would Grow Hotter?
The heat waves of the future will be even hotter. Global warming is affecting the weather. The trend is pointing toward even warmer heat waves in the future. Kevin Trenberth, climate analysis branch chief for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, says that heat waves and global warming “are very strongly” connected. He confirmed that studies in the last five years have shown that climate changes are most dangerous during high temperatures, droughts and flooding. Currently, persistent high pressure systems in the upper atmosphere prevent cooler air from reaching the West Coast. California is experiencing heat waves daily. The nights are generally warmer and the days have become cooler.
It’s a fascinating topic and much controversy continues on the beliefs of whether we are simply experiencing one of mother natures cycles it goes through or the planet really is being changed by man.
Stay tuned for more thoughts on the global warming trends and our weather.
