Higher frequencies of drought and extreme rainfall are assumed to be associated with modern climate change.

Yet another region of the globe has not warmed (net) for the last 333 years. The authors of a new study (Jiao et al., 2019) point out that temperature changes in the Tianshan mountains are “mainly influenced by the solar activity via the mean minimum temperature within approximately 11-year periods.” Despite some warming since the […]
