Introduction

For me, every day is Earth Day. To make today an Earth Day for you, I offer an amazing video in this article that I really hope you will watch.

Maybe this is true because I have been studying the earth for most of my life by getting outside into Mother Nature and enjoying what she offers. Maybe it is because I spent seven collegiate years studying various aspects of geology. Whatever the reason(s) might be, for me every day is an Earth Day.

Why would I talk about a late-season snowstorm in Chicago as being evidence of global warming? To understand why you will have to wait until I show my new work that dives deep into understanding the changes in weather patterns that are occurring. I used over 100 million temperature readings to derive the insights.

In the past two days in Knoxville, the temperatures have gone from the low 40’s to the mid-80’s. Big temperature variations can occur when the jet stream gets perturbed and arctic air swings down from Canada. Unexpected weather is a sign that big changes are happening. Hence, the mid-April snowstorm in Chicago. We need to pay attention to these events and work to make changes that minimize our impacts on Earth.
