Global warming is undeniable, yet recent winters have witnessed record-breaking, extreme cold temperatures in unexpected areas. This paradoxical situation has scientists investigating the Warm Arctic-Cold Continent (WACC) phenomenon and its far-reaching impacts. A study by the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology underscores a significant change in WACC patterns from the 2030s onward, with implications for weather forecasting, climate modeling, and community preparedness. Warm Arctic-cold continent (WACC) phenomenon The WACC phenomenon centers on how rapid Arctic warming and diminishing sea ice disrupt large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns,...
