As both those in North America and Europea have experienced bitter cold snaps and heavy snowfall this winter, climate scientists have recorded an exceptionally warm season in the Arctic Circle and researchers say that while global warming has caused warmer temperatures around the globe overall there is also a strong link between the climate crisis and extreme winter weather events.

“This winter is a great example of what we can expect from climate change,” Judah Cohen, a climate scientist at Atmospheric and Environmental Research, told  the Guardian. “In the U.S. we had the ‘bomb cyclone’ in January, followed by July-like warm weather in February that I’d never seen before. And now we’ve had a parade of powerful winter storms and the beast from the east. It’s mind boggling.”

Cohen’s research was published by Nature Communications on Tuesday ust as the U.S. East Coast was hit by its third severe snowstorm in ten days. As CNN notes, the study “found that major winter storms were two to four times more likely when the Arctic is abnormally warm, compared to when it was abnormally cold.”
