Is the climate becoming more extremee as a result of global warming?
We often hear on the news that the day was the hottest, coldest, wettest or snowiest on record. Recent evidence suggest that aspects of the climate are indeed becoming more extreme. This book presents the facts, including a detailed analysis of extreme weather trends going back to the 19th century. Also included are historical examples of some of the most bizarre weather events observed - heat bursts, electrified dust storms, snow rollers, pink snow-storms, luminous tornadoes, falls of fish and toads, ball lightening, super bolts and other strange meteorological events.
