- wk_end 5y agoBut the subject at hand isn't whether winters are going to be warmer. The topic was extreme weather events. And the question wasn't "is this indisputable gospel" or something, it was "where can I read about this?" Of course I biased towards selecting the links where you could read about it!
- OrbitRock 5y agoWell, the increased variability itself may be a part of the climate change. I’ll give an anecdote. I’m working on a project that tracks the length of the rainy season over time in a certain region. There is no clear trend one way or another, but what does stick out as a super strong and clear trend is that the variability of both extremes occurring is increasing.
