An article published in Nature Communications (“Rapid Flips Between Warm and Cold Extremes in a Warming World”) has been making its rounds recently in several climate forums on social media even though it was published a year ago (see link below). In the article the authors claim that flips between warm and cold extremes are becoming more frequent and intense in a warming world.
According to the authors, rapid extreme temperature flips “allow a very short time for human and ecosystem preparedness to respond and adapt” and “can increase the risk of severe and even irreversible impacts on human health, infrastructure, air quality, and plant phenology.”
Of course the news media swarmed all over the article like a fly to honey and pimped up the scare. Check out some of the dire headlines below:
