Will global warming lead to an increase in extreme weather?

Recently, the eastern part of the United States was hit by a "bomb cyclone", and new york and other places ushered in severe cooling and heavy snowstorms. The temperature in Mount Washington, the highest peak in the northeastern United States, dropped to MINUS 38 degrees Celsius, and the wind was biting. Worldwide, extreme weather has increased and strengthened. The "pusher" behind it is generally considered as global warming.

According to reports, the World Meteorological Organization recently issued a communique stating that 20 17 is likely to be the third hottest year of global land and ocean temperatures since meteorological records were recorded, and it will also be the hottest year among all years unaffected by El Ni? o events. Global warming has been going on since the end of 1970s, and this trend has been strengthened since this century. Global warming has opened a Pandora's box full of extreme weather, and more and more extreme weather and climate events appear, which will have a great impact on the economy and society.

Global warming has provided great kinetic energy to the atmosphere and the ocean, making the climate more extreme-the drier it gets, the wetter it gets. Originally, the atmosphere could saturate a little water vapor and bring precipitation, but now the atmosphere is more capable of "blocking rain" and needs more water vapor, and precipitation will not form until it can't be stopped. This leads to either no precipitation or heavy precipitation.

In addition, the urbanization process has changed the characteristics of the earth's underlying surface, making urban meteorological disasters more prone to occur and the risk rising. With the economic and social development, population growth and structural changes, and the improvement of urbanization level, the risks of disasters such as high temperature, floods and droughts that China faces will intensify, the pressure on environmental protection will also increase significantly, and the situation of disaster prevention and mitigation will become more severe.

I hope the impact of climate change will begin to weaken as soon as possible!
