GWANGJU, South Korea, April 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pictures of melting glaciers and stranded polar bears on shrinking sea ice in the Arctic are perhaps the most striking images that have been used to highlights the effects of global warming. However, they do not convey the full extent of the consequences of warmer Arctic. In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the Arctic's role in driving extreme weather events in other parts of the world. While the Arctic has been warming at a rate twice as fast as the global average, winters in the midlatitude regions have experienced colder and more severe weather events. For instance, the winter of 2022-2023 saw record-breaking cold temperatures and snowfall in Japan, China, and Korea. Similarly, many parts of Eurasia and North America have experienced severe cold snaps, with heavy snowfall and prolonged periods of sub-zero temperatures.

Key Points: 
  • In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the Arctic's role in driving extreme weather events in other parts of the world.
  • While the Arctic has been warming at a rate twice as fast as the global average, winters in the midlatitude regions have experienced colder and more severe weather events.
  • For instance, the winter of 2022-2023 saw record-breaking cold temperatures and snowfall in Japan, China, and Korea.
  • They observed that lower winter temperatures in East Asia and North America are usually accompanied by warmer Arctic Sea temperatures.
