It seems like there is a new flood, tornado, or hurricane every day. Is this the kind of meteorological insanity we need to learn to expect? Snowpocalypse! Tornadoes! Floods! Climate change may seem like tired old news or ideological propaganda to some of us, but this year's weather has certainly been something to sit up and take notice of.

Climate change has yet to diminish crop yields in the U.S. corn belt but scientists expect drought to become more common due to global warming in coming years.
