US Southern States Face "Tropicalization" as Climate Change Alters Weather Patterns
A recent online video highlights the ongoing climate changes affecting the United States, particularly its southern regions. The video features a woman discussing unusual weather phenomena, such as a distinct "rolling long thunder" not typically observed in her locality. She attributes these changes to global warming, citing a 2021 article from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The USGS article, titled "Parts of US's Southernmost States will 'Tropicalize' as Climate Changes," explains that cold-sensitive plants and animals are migrating northward due to fewer and weaker winter freezes. The video's creator emphasizes the importance of acknowledging scientific facts over conspiracy theories regarding these environmental shifts, suggesting that accepting the reality of global warming can be challenging.
