Climate change research goes to the extremes
Description: By now, most sci­en­tists agree that the tem­per­a­ture of the planet is rising and that the increase is due to human activ­i­ties such as fossil fuel use and defor­esta­tion. But until recently, the jury was still out regarding the vari­ability sur­rounding that increase. Researchers in this article used a Big Data computational approach to discover that while global warming will continue, we may still experience severe cold snaps due to increasing variability in temperature extremes.
