İs Weather Extremities might be another case of Global Warming?

The recent spate of disasters in far-flung areas – successive floods in New England, Nashville, Arkansas, and Oklahoma; and a torrent in Pakistan – have, once again, revived the much-debated-about issue pertaining to the effect of global warming in causing extreme weather conditions.

The extremities of weather have become evident from the fact that while the floods toppled the lives of more than 20 million people; the summer heat in the eastern US, parts of Africa and eastern Asia, as well as Russia, led to the loss of millions of acres of wheat and thousands of lives in the worst-ever drought in history.
With such extreme weather conditions being clearly disquieting, the scientific community more or less is collective in expressing the opinion that global warming “probably” is taking its toll on the weather round the world.
Noting that “the climate is changing,” Jay Lawrimore – the climate analysis head at the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N. C. – said: “Extreme events are occurring with greater frequency and, in many cases, with greater intensity.”
Lawrimore further added that the excessive heat, in particular, is apparently “consistent with our understanding of how the climate responds to increasing greenhouse gases.” Scientists believe that the theory about greenhouse gases underscores more weather extremes in the future – like heavier rainstorms in summer, bigger snowstorms in winter, and more intense droughts due to more record-breaking heat waves – most of which, as per reports, are already being experienced!
