With so much weather related destruction this Spring researchers believe it could be the new norm.
Wild fires in Texas. Tornadoes in the Southeast. Flooding in the Midwest. While many would like to point to global warming as the culprit of this increase in deadly weather some researchers believe that seasonal oscillations in weather patterns could be to blame.It's been a severe start to the spring season in the United States. Tornadoes have ravaged the southeastern US, flooding threatens much of the Midwest, and wildfires are scorching Texas. But according to researchers, a confluence of seasonal oscillations in weather patterns, rather than climate change, is to blame. And growing populations mean that grim casualty figures from such events may become the norm.
