Weather Whiplash, Climate Change Variability Claims

Media outlets and scientists from the University of Texas are utilizing the term "weather whiplash" to describe the rapid transition from extreme drought to crippling floods in Texas. Claims suggest that climate change is "stretching out variability" to explain wild weather swings that do not fit traditional models. Critics argue this terminology is a way to attribute all weather events to man-made climate change.
