There have been many changes in extreme weather events recently due to the heavy climate change in decades past. Cold waves nation wide have become less prominent and not as intense, while heat waves are now more common and more intense causing a change in both droughts and floods. In the United States our emissions of CO2 and greenhouse gases have had negative effects on the weather patterns as well which effectively messes with the environment and natural patterns and adaptations.
