Study Suggests Global Warming Will Dramatically Rise.
Researches at Purdue University said that extreme weather patterns will likely continue because of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions. The researches said the US will like see harsher heat waves and droughts, and more frequent floods.
The study projects that temperatures will be as much as 18 degrees warmer on the coldest days of the year and that the warmest half month of temperatures will expand for up to two months.
This comes as a record tying number of hurricanes have developed this year in the Atlantic. Hurricane Wilma, already a category 5 storm, is on track to hit the state of Florida, and has already caused the evacuation of more than 5,000 people in eastern Cuba.
