Winter storm to trigger dangerous blizzard, high winds and Arctic cold
Washington PostAPR 2023
Damaging winter storms are becoming increasingly common in the United States. The country's power grid is not resilient enough to weather the effects of accelerating climate change. The US must shift its energy supply towards renewable sources like wind and solar — this transition will help vulnerable populations brave the impacts of these wild temperature swings while reducing emissions.
It's easy to dismiss any extreme weather event as a consequence of climate change, but in reality, they're usually influenced by a myriad of factors that have nothing to do with it. More research is needed before we can establish any direct causal link between the two.
