Oklahoma saw its worst winter storm in decades last week, but don’t go blaming climate change for the bitter cold and heavy snow just yet.
Climate change is a phenomenon studied on a global scale over the course of decades.
Two University of Oklahoma professors said that makes it nearly impossible to label a singular weather event, even one that brings subzero temperatures to a large swath of the United States, a result of climate change.
“The data does not support being able to attribute what’s going on now to climate change,” said Kevin Kloesel, director of the Oklahoma Climatological Survey.
