As both evaporation rates and heavy rainfall events
increase in a warming world, this lends itself to bigger variations in precipitation.
The IPCC most - likely future projected moderate acceleration of sea - level
rise in a warming world, but still a slow rate of change compared to the fastest rates we can envision.
While the near - term rate of sea - level rise remains uncertain, the long - term picture of rising
seas in a warming world is crystal clear.
Well, the short answer is that cold winters still happen
even in a warmed world, but that doesn't mean it's cold everywhere.
Can we just ignore them and work with global temperatures, or are there actually larger deviations from the norm at the regional
level in a warming world?
The new findings are part of a surge of research suggesting that communities need to revisit their vulnerability to extreme
weather in a warming world.
This acts as what engineers call «negative feedback» and would explain the paradox of more extensive southern ocean
ice in a warming world.
As the time frame used to predict weather did not change, the researchers concluded that weather would likely remain as predictable
in a warmer world as it is today.
The idea that tropical storms such as hurricanes will be bigger and more
frequent in a warmer world is reinforced by an Australian computer study.
The storm fits the current pattern experienced
in the warming world in which higher temperatures are driving more intense rainfall events.
Future research topics may explore how the distribution of ocean barrier layers around the world may affect
storms in a warmer world.
The trees that are able to cope
in a warmer world by absorbing more carbon dioxide are at higher risk of death in multiple ways.
Better planning — through investments in infrastructure and public health strategies — can help communities become more
resilient in a warming world.
Now a new analysis has looked in more detail at health risks that could be
amplified in a warming world and finds the same profound disconnect.
Scientists generally agree that climate change will increase the likelihood of extreme weather events, but the jury is still out on how tornadoes will
fare in a warming world.
This post argues that ethics requires acknowledging the links between tornadoes and climate change despite scientific uncertainties about increased frequency and intensity of
tornadoes in a warming world.
The kinds of extreme weather events that would be expected to occur more
often in a warming world are indeed increasing.
Even though we will continue to see cold
outbreaks in a warming world, the trend in the vast majority of the cities analyzed shows that these extreme cold nights are happening less often.
Understanding how those ice sheets will
react in a warming world is critical, if we are understand the risks being taken with our greenhouse gas emissions.
