I wonder what would happen if the same approach was applied to other climate metrics, like sea surface temperature, water vapor feedback strength, and precipitation - evaporation changes.

As the authors point out, even if the whole story comes down to precipitation changes which favor ablation, the persistence of these conditions throughout the 20th century still might be an indirect effect of global warming, via the remote effect of sea surface temperature on atmospheric circulation.

But it's possible, and even if this particular disaster is not attributable to climate change, it still exemplifies very well what the risks from extreme precipitation «look like», in the Bay area and around the world.

«If there are no while zones on top of the volcanoes, the solar radiation is absorbed, which generated an increase in temperature and local climate change, like desertification or the inhibition of pluvial precipitation,» Degaldo told SciDev.net in an interview.

If we keep burning fossil fuels at our current rates, food may become harder and harder to grow in many places — as even slight changes in long - established precipitation and temperature patterns can wreak havoc on certain fruits and vegetables — and what does grow could be less and less nutritious.

The surface of the oceans are always warmer than the depths of the oceans > If you change the mixing efficiency, by shifting atmospheric circulations with solar precessional cycle for example, the mixing efficiency changes and the regions where precipitation falls changes.

If somebody has actually directly shown to high precision how much evaporation and precipitation changes as a result of CO2 forcing then I think we all would have heard about it and the sensitivity debate would be over.

Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface evaporation and loss of water from plants lead to more rapid drying of soils if the effects of higher temperatures are not offset by other changes (such as reduced wind speed or increased humidity).5 As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions.6

But Swain and his colleagues wanted to know if that was because there was really little change in precipitation or if there were big changes at either end of the spectrum that balanced each other out when looking at yearly averages.

«Even if there is no change in precipitation, all years will be a drought risk.»

This can occur when the probability of precipitation (the number of events) decreases, or if the shape of the precipitation distribution changes, but this latter situation is less likely (Buffoni et al., 1999; Groisman et al., 1999; Brunetti et al., 2000a, b).

In other words, if these yield reductions resulting from greenhouse gas — induced climate change were superimposed on the yield reductions that might occur during a particularly dry period arising from the region's characteristic precipitation variability, they would be higher and comparable with the results from the Morocco National Communication.

What if the expansion was dominated by a change in precipitation that dominated temperature variation?

Now, if you were to say looking at the salt density changes of the ocean... They do have an effect on the evaporation and precipitation on a rotational planet that have many different velocities.

If the negative effects of climate change, the rising air temperatures, the changing precipitation, the prevalence of extreme weather events, and the rising sea levels, become too disruptive or costly, we have the option to deploy certain climate altering technologies to remove greenhouse gases directly from the air or reflect sunlight back out of the atmosphere before it warms the earth.

This would be true if the only thing changing was the precipitation rate, but this is obviously not the case because the driver of all these precipitation changes is the expected significant increase in air temperature.

«You can have aridification under climate change even if precipitation stays the same or goes up,» Udall said.

For example, decision makers already have a good idea what will happen if no action to reduce CO2 emissions is taken: the «business as usual» scenario shows significant increases in temperature and changes in precipitation, leading to serious impacts over the next century.

The Peruvian research points to temperature change, but even if changes in precipitation are the cause, the most probable explanation for that too is... climate change.

«If the models do systematically underestimate precipitation changes that would be bad news», because the existing forecasts would already cause substantial problems, says Gabriele Hegerl, a climate - system scientist at the University of Edinburgh, UK, and a co-author on the paper.

In concert with the results for increased extremes of intense precipitation, even if the wind strength of storms in a future climate did not change, there would be an increase in extreme rainfall intensity.

I suppose if there has been no change in precipitation, evaporation, forcings, prevailing winds, fresh water contributions, and maybe some other things that aren't coming to mind at the moment; we can expect that todays currents are exactly as they were 300 years ago.
