This is all your fault
Drought and floods will become more common as global warming causes weather to ‘stall’
Scorching summer heatwaves and floods are set to become more extreme in the northern hemisphere as global warming makes weather patterns linger longer in the same place.
According to a study published by Nature Communications, growing temperatures in the Arctic have slowed the circulation of the jet stream and other giant winds, affecting pressure fronts across continents.
This summer, parts of Europe were hit by heatwaves and wildfires including Sweden, Greece and Spain.
The research found that high and low pressure fronts are becoming “stuckâ€, while the weather is increasingly less able to moderate itself.
These extreme systems could turn sunny days into baking heatwaves, tinder-dry conditions into wildfires, and rainwater into floods.
The research paper warned that the mixed colliding pressures could lead to “very extreme extremesâ€, that happen when abnormally high temperatures linger for an unusually prolonged period.
“Could lead”

And there’s still no proof that this is mostly/solely caused by mankind’s release of greenhouse gases. But we can fix it with a tax/fee!
