China Snow Storms Not Caused by Climate Change
Sorry to ruin the conclusions if you are in China but apparently the snow storms that you have been encountering are not caused by the climate change phenomena. Well at least this is what Reuters reported in their article is concerned.
While the snow storms have caused problems for China, it all boils down to something else. It is just a freak event of nature that is bound to hit any country at any time like Milenyo which hit the Philippines 2 years ago.
Snow storms in China that have killed more than 60 people are not directly linked to climate change, say scientists, but simply an extreme event caused by very cold winter temperatures and a La Nina weather pattern.
La Nina has brought moist air over southern China at a time of very cold winter temperatures, resulting in heavy snow falls, said Chinese weather experts.
