In recent years, the world has witnessed a mysterious phenomenon: despite global warming, winters in regions like East Asia and North America are getting colder. This led to a series extreme weather events , which contradict general climate change predictions. Historically, Arctic warming and a weakened jet stream have been considered the culprits, but climate models have struggled to definitively confirm this theory.

Understanding extreme weather

The 2021 Texas power outage, triggered by rare cold weather, underscores the urgent need for accurate climate models. These models are essential for predicting  extreme weather conditions events and mitigating their socio-economic impacts. Climate technology leaders recognize this and have set a fundamental goal: predicting climate trends for the coming decade.(Eric Ralls)
