Scientist predicted that the winter of 2021-2022 will possibly be one of the coldest in recorded history.
Recent observations from the National Weather Service have indicated to some scientists that if the current weather trend continues through fall, the winter will be colder than anything we have seen in the last century. Scientists also predict that the cooling trend that we have seen throughout this summer will impact the gulf stream in such a way that the earth’s climate will temporarily change. The time frame in which this can happen is relatively short, with colder temperatures than normal in late September, followed closely with early snowfall in October.
In an article titled “The mystery of recent stratospheric temperature trends” published online by Nature.com, Dr. David W. J. Thompson concludes that “A new data set of middle- and upper-stratospheric temperatures based on reprocessing of satellite radiances provides a view of stratospheric climate change during the period 1979–2005 that is strikingly different from that provided by earlier data sets. The new data call into question our understanding of observed stratospheric temperature trends and our ability to test simulations of the stratospheric response to emissions of greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances. Here we highlight the important issues raised by the new data and suggest how the climate science community can resolve them.”
White House officials have declined to comment. This is a developing story.
