Scientist: Cold & Snowy November Is Evidence Of Warming Climate

With the cold weather returning, November may seem like a strong argument against the idea of a warming climate.

Natural science instructor at MATC, George Stone, says our cold weather this month is actually more evidence that the earth's temperature is on the rise.

"It’s just that the warming in the Arctic is having the counterintuitive effect of causing colder weather farther south by pushing this cold air mass farther than it would be on the average at this time of season," Stone says.
