Question

1. a model for climate change predicts that global temperatures will continue to rise. soon after the model is presented, a town has a massive snow storm. what does this tell us about the model? (1 point)

it refutes the model because the temperatures are colder, not warmer.
it confirms the model because climate change predicts more precipitation.
it might confirm or refute the model, depending on what the temperatures normally were in that town.
it neither confirms nor refutes the model because climate and weather are different.

Explanation:

Climate refers to long - term weather patterns, while weather is short - term. A single snowstorm (weather event) cannot confirm or refute a climate change model (which deals with long - term climate trends).

Answer:

It neither confirms nor refutes the model because climate and weather are different.
