Rapid Arctic warming driven by climate change could be responsible for the increasingly extreme winter weather in some parts of the United States, according to a studyon Thursday, providing the first evidence linking February’s killer winter storm to human-driven global warming. ...

This disruption can have a big knock-on effect on complex weather patterns and can cause the system, known as the polar vortex, to stretch and allow cold air to move over parts of the U.S. and Canada, the researchers wrote. Extreme winter weather in the U.S. was more common when this vortex was disrupted and there has been an increasing number of stretching events since satellite observations began in 1979, the researchers wrote. cold snap in February was likely a result of this stretching process, the scientists wrote.

The study “provides cautionary evidence that a warming planet will not necessarily protect us from the devastating impacts of severe winter weather,” said lead author Judah Cohen, an MIT professor and director of Atmospheric and Environmental Research, a weather risk management firm.The researchers’ findings, based on computer modeling and observational data, give further weight to the counterintuitive idea that global warming can actually lead to colder weather in some places.

yet on the role Arctic warming may play in increasingly cold extremes in the U.S., though the Texas snowstorm in February reinvigorated discussion on the matter.
