Global Warming DOES Cause Temperature Extremes (Despite Uneducated Tweets)

As a meteorologist, I weep for today's generation with a king tweeter who has no concept of science and especially that global warming causes extreme temperature swings. That's been documented for decades by scientists around the world. Sadly, he feeds to his uneducated base who continue to believe anything.

FACT: Changes in extreme weather and climate events, such as heat waves, Arctic outbreaks and droughts, are the primary way that most people experience climate change. Read more below the uneducated tweet.  The full report of the National Climate Assessment provides an in-depth look at climate change impacts on the U.S. It details the multitude of ways climate change is already affecting and will increasingly affect the lives of Americans.The link is below.

Here's the Tweet that was sent out on Dec. 28 as the east coast of the U.S. was experiencing and Arctic Outbreak.

FACTS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE:
As the world has warmed, that warming has triggered many other changes to the Earth’s climate. Changes in extreme weather and climate events, such as heat waves and droughts, are the primary way that most people experience climate change. Human-induced climate change has already increased the number and strength of some of these extreme events. Over the last 50 years, much of the U.S. has seen increases in prolonged periods of excessively high temperatures, he ownpours, and in some regions, severe floods and droughts.
