Global Warming (GW) and Extreme Weather (EW) Link: Are Cold Extremes On The Rise?
Abstract
Madhav Khandekar and Ray Garnett
The ongoing debate on the GW/EW link continues unabated; media and environmentalists have linked the warming of the earth’s climate (due to human-CO2 emissions) as being responsible for more extreme weather (EW) events in recent years. The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a UN Climate Body) has identified several EW events (e.g., heat waves, droughts, floods) as being linked to the warming of the climate [1, 2, 3].
