Global warming really does affect extreme weather

Science In Action

Available for over a year

Eminent US climate change scientist Michael Mann at Pennsylvania State University has shown scientifically that the warming climate is disturbing the jet stream high in the atmosphere, affecting how it wobbles and locking it in place. This causes certain extreme weather events, such as the 2011 Texas drought, and torrential rainfall to be more severe and longer lasting.
