Question

A model for climate change predicts that global temperatures will continue to rise. Soon after the model is presented, a town has a massive snowstorm. What does that tell us about the model? (1 point)
It might confirm or repeat the model, depending on what the temperature's normally were in that town.
It refutes the model because the temperatures are colder, not warmer.
It neither confirms nor refutes the model because climate and weather are different.
It confirms the model because climate change predicts more precipitation.

Answer 1

It neither confirms nor refutes the model because climate and weather are different. A single local weather event (a snowstorm) doesn't disprove or prove long-term global temperature trends.
