Amplified warming of North American cold extremes linked to human-induced changes in temperature variability
R. Blackport and J. C. Fyfe
This study by Russell Blackport and John C. Fyfe reveals that North America's winter cold extremes are warming at an alarming rate, outpacing the winter mean temperatures since 1980. The findings challenge earlier beliefs about cold extremes diminishing, highlighting a critical change in our climate dynamics.
