The Heat: Extreme weather pummels United States

The Heat

Dangerously low temperatures continue to grip Texas, as many residents struggle to cope without electricity, water or gas.
An unseasonably cold winter has caused the state’s power grid to collapse, leaving millions in the dark at the height of recent storms and no end in sight to the energy emergency. Snow and ice storms have wreaked havoc across the United States in recent weeks, leaving many to question if the extreme weather is a harbinger of climate change.
