Michael Mann: Northeast Snowstorm Is So Strong Due to Climate Change and It’ll Get Worse if We Don’t Stop Burning Fossil Fuels

MANN: “Whether we'll see more of these storms or fewer of them is a little uncertain, because there are a whole bunch of factors that come into that. But what we do know with some degree of confidence is that the strongest storms are getting stronger. We're seeing more intense nor'easters, and we are seeing larger snowfalls. And that's really what does the most harm, the most damage, what poses the greatest risk, are the strongest storms with the strongest damaging winds that produce the largest amount of snowfall. And we're seeing in the observations an increase in those intensities and an increase in those snowfall totals. And we expect to see that increase as long as we continue to warm up the planet by burning fossil fuels and putting carbon pollution into the atmosphere.”
