Meteorologists point out that this may be another sign of global warming. The sudden warm weather has brought significant impacts on local residents' lives and agricultural production. On one hand, people can enjoy more outdoor time, and heating costs are reduced; on the other hand, warm winters may lead to premature outbreaks of pests and diseases, threatening crops, and also raising concerns about ecological balance.)
