Historic Southern Snowstorm Sparks Climate Change Debate
A once-in-a-generation winter storm brought historic snowfall and dangerously cold temperatures to the Gulf Coast, a region ill-equipped for such weather. Widespread closures of airports and major roadways, including sections of Interstate 10, resulted from the hazardous conditions, causing over 2,100 flight cancellations. States of emergency were declared across multiple states as record-breaking snowfall amounts accumulated, exceeding six inches in some areas. The severe cold, impacting millions across the US, has already resulted in at least one fatality.
