Warmist Paul Epstein blames global warming for harsh winters in the U.S. and Europe

Health and Climate Change: 7 Ways You Are Being Harmed - Paul Epstein - Life - The Atlantic

With warmer winters overall, more precipitation is falling as rain rather than snow in the Northern Hemisphere, increasing the chances for ice storms. Additionally, more atmospheric moisture nourishes heavy snowfalls. Warming oceans and melting Arctic ice lie at the heart of polar leakage of cold air and altered patterns of the Jet Stream have affected U.S. and European winters for the past two years. Ice storms and heavy snow storms affect ambulatory health (orthopedics), and can lead to motor vehicle accidents, exacerbate cardiac disease, and cause power outages with accompanying health effects. Melting of heavy snowpack this past spring contributed to flooding along the Mississippi River and its tributaries.
