Climate change brings inexplicable and confusing weather

Climate change brings with it weather conditions which to most people are inexplicable, confusing and so far beyond our experience that we struggle to make sense of them.

Climate change, or global warming, is about a base warming of the planet and that brings multiple disruptions to earth’s weather system and subsequently unsettles centuries of human experience about what is normal.

The benign weather system that has allowed humanity to tighten its grip on earth is vanishing and we are now seeing events that are beyond traditional experience to explain.

Mashable talks about these contradictory happenings in its story: “Despite frigid conditions in the East, U.S. seeing more record warmth this winter”.

It says: “The U.S. is experiencing one of the most unusual winters in years, with a pronounced and enduring bubble of warm, high pressure over the West, and blast after blast of frigid Arctic air and heavy snow in the eastern two-thirds of the country.”
