Why does global warming have a strong cold wave? Interpretation by meteorological experts
With the global climate change showing a significant warming trend, why is there still a strong cold wave?
Meteorological experts said that cold waves and climate warming seem to be opposed, but they are not contradictory.
Global warming does not directly correspond to “warm winter”, “cold winter” or “is it cold in a certain process” like simple connection questions.
Global warming means that the global average annual temperature is generally on the high side. When affected by climate events, there will still be cold and warm fluctuations in individual years.
In fact, it is global warming that has led to the increase in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as cold waves in recent years.
The energy of the global atmosphere is conserved.
Climate warming makes a certain area continue to be extremely high, and the temperature of a certain place around will drop, resulting in extreme weather such as high temperature heat waves, droughts, floods, typhoons, and cold waves.
As said by the Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, Taras, weather events such as heat waves and floods described in the past as "once in a hundred years" are becoming more and more common.
Only when the world collaborates as soon as possible can we jointly tackle the long-term challenges brought about by climate change.
Finally, we remind everyone again to pay attention to the impact of drastic changes in the weather, and to keep warm in time.
