[quote=SCOFIELD07,417583]In the past two weeks, severe snow and icy rain freeze many places in south China like Guizhou, Hunan, Guangxi… The harsh weather clogged highways in those places and stood many vehicles and passengers. Road traffic became very dangerous. Temperatures there stayed below freezing, 3 to 5 °C lower than the average for this time of year. That reminds me of many other extreme weather events that frequently happened around the world in recent years. Why extreme weather becomes so often and ordinary? Who can be blamed for the tragedy? Global climate change? Human-caused climate change?

Why 135 daily rainfall records were broken along the East Coast during September 2010’s deluges (Wilmington, N.C.)? Why 2010 eclipsed 1998 as the hottest year on record? Why in August 2010 an ice island four times the size of Manhattan broke off from a Greenland glacier? Why Gansu of China suffered the severest landslide in August 2010? Why 2000–2009 was the warmest decade on record that 153 of the 1,218 U.S. weather stations recorded their hottest summer since 1895? Why Moscow suffered a once-in-centuries heat wave this summer? Why one fifth of Pakistan flooded? Why London undergoes the coldest winter now?

So many whys! Is human really the one to be blamed? Where and how we go? The question devolves into the swirl of a black hole in my mind. Come on, guys! Share your ideas here.
