Scientists say global warming – specifically the rapid warming of the Arctic – is a possible, if not likely, culprit in the extreme weather.
Freak cold in Texas has scientists discussing whether climate change is to
Jet stream slowed down & meandered.
Paul Beckwith, a climate system scientist in Ottawa: "(Arctic warming) could cause the polar jet stream to slow down and meander, so that it carries more warmer air toward the pole and frigid air further south"
“What we’re seeing this year is an extreme example of what happens when the jet stream trough goes really deep southward,” Beckwith said.
“I think it’s a rock-solid case,” But “it might take a bit of time for the science to catch up and find all the details” to prove it. 🧐
Speculative, not facts:
The theory “remains speculative, and it is the reporting of it as fact that is not justified,” climate scientist Geoffrey Vallis at the Univ of Exeter tweeted on Tuesday. “It may be true, but perhaps more likely not.”

The freak cold spell that has killed at least 21 Americans and shut down power for days in Texas has revived scientific discussion over whether climate change could be delivering this week's chill.\u200b https://t.co/9iiVc0YKMm
