Not every weather fluctuation is demonstrably affected by climate change. But the impact of the steady increase in global temperature is now detectable in many extreme weather events—and likely many of the more normal ones, too, says Justin Mankin, a climate scientist at Dartmouth College.

A recent study explains how warmer temperatures at the top of the planet destabilize the jet stream and allow colder air to travel south.

The year 2024 was the hottest year on record. For the first time the average global temperature rose to 1.6C above preindustrial levels, exceeding the 1.5C vital to preventing accelerating climate change.

Earth recorded its hottest year ever in 2024, with such a big jump that the planet temporarily passed a major climate threshold.

People living "basically anywhere from the Rockies eastward" will see extremely cold temperatures over the next several days, a meteorologist says. That includes Kansas City, which is set to host a Chiefs playoffs game this weekend.

The temperature at kickoff Saturday is expected to be in the low to mid-20s, but northerly winds could make it feel much colder. After facing the coldest game in Arrowhead history last year, fans, players and medical personnel are more than ready.

People living "basically anywhere from the Rockies eastward" will see extremely cold temperatures over the next several days, a meteorologist says.

Analysts say the country will burn a lot more natural gas in the coming years to meet soaring electricity demand, potentially locking in decades of heat-trapping emissions.
