of weather patterns in the next decades.
The
change of weather patterns is only one of these consequences, but it alone may be more than human society can handle without collapse.

of weather patterns around the globe.
«The exact event won't happen again, but if we get the same
sort of weather pattern in a climate that is even warmer than today's, then we can expect it to dump even more rain.»
Changes in the frequency and severity of extreme climate events and in the
variability of weather patterns will have significant consequences for human and natural systems,» a recent overview study on the matter put it.

Coumou has examined the waviness of the jet stream in previous work and has suggested that its large twists and turns, slow - moving undulations called Rossby waves, promote atmospheric «blocking» — a kind of
stagnation of weather patterns that he says can exacerbate heat waves.
The new GRL study attributes the changes in wave energy to the
