The east coast is recovering this Monday after a brutally cold weekend following the bomb cyclone. Sara Miller, Editor at Live Science, joins Cheddar to discuss what we can expect for the rest of the winter and what signs we should look out for when it comes to global warming.
New England bore the brunt of the snow. Miller says the wind chill on Mount Washington in New Hampshire hit negative 90 degrees! Miller did deliver some good news for us here in New York...the temperature is supposed to climb into the 60s this week.
Some believe this has to do with global warming. However, Miller warns we can't just look at this one storm as a sign of global warming. She says that around the globe, temperatures are actually warmer than usual. One example is Australia. The country just hit a record for the hottest day at 117 degrees.
Scientists have discovered a new asteroid that's been tagging along with Earth for the past 2,000 years. The space rock is called a "quasi-moon," since it's only slightly influenced by the Earth's gravitational pull, but it still makes the journey around the sun much like the earth does.
Earth has pushed past seven out of eight scientifically established safety limits and into “the danger zone,” not just for an overheating planet that's losing its natural areas, but for the well-being of people living on it, according to a new study.
