Extreme weather events, including blizzards and snow storms, are connected to rising temperatures.
Hotter air increases ocean evaporation, and a warmer atmosphere also can hold more water than a cooler atmosphere. This warmer, more moist atmosphere can intensify weather events.
Larger storms in recent years are exemplifying what climate models are predicting: more powerful, with unprecedented storm surges.
On winter days when the temperatures are below freezing, the snowfall may be record breaking because there is more moisture in the atmosphere.
The 10 warmest years globally have all occurred in the past 15 years.
Shifting air currents carry moisture away from dry areas, making parched areas prone to wildfires.
