Scientist: “The planet is getting warmer and it will continue to warm, on average, as we go into the future.”

ABC News: “That means we are in for more extreme weather, more Snowmageddon type winters and torrential downpours that can flood entire towns.”

Here’s the whole story from Wednesday night, which warns the public about “the wild swings in the weather we can expect in the future.”

Kudos to ABC for talking to a climate scientist and explaining how warming drives the extreme weather we’re seeing. They seem to be doing some of the best reporting on this:
