Wind regulates the movement of areas of high and low pressure between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. But climate change is transforming wind systems across the globe – with fatal consequences. Any fluctuation in our wind systems increases the likelihood of extreme weather events such as droughts and flooding. Meteorologists have been analyzing the reasons behind these changes in the Arctic, where temperatures are increasing faster than anywhere else on the globe. And they have already made some alarming discoveries. We are currently caught up in a vicious circle: climate change causes wind systems to shift, and this shift in turn accelerates climate change.
