A Timeline of 2013 Extreme Weather and Global Warming

By Brian Kahn

On Monday, the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society released its annual look at extreme weather events and the role of climate change in causing them.

Check out the timeline to see what events were covered, when they occurred and if there was a discernible climate change connection or not.
