The Arctic is heating up faster than ever before. This isn't just a distant problem. It's affecting weather patterns much further south. There's a growing body of evidence that suggests this rapid Arctic warming is linked to some unusually cold winters in Eurasia. This might sound counterintuitive. How can a warming Arctic lead to colder winters elsewhere? The answer...

Climate models are like crystal balls for scientists. They help us see what might happen in the future. But, they are not always right. Especially when it comes to the Arctic. The Arctic is warming and getting wetter. This is a big deal. But, how much and how fast? That's where things get tricky. Scientists have been using fancy computer programs to predict wha...

Brrr! Temperatures have plunged across the U. S. , with Winter Storm Blair bringing snow and winter alerts to millions. This isn't just any cold snap; it's tied to the Arctic, where warming can push cold air south. Climate change might be making these cold snaps more likely. The polar vortex, a spinning band of cold wind, and the polar jet stream, a fast-moving air ...
