You end up with this interesting observation where you get both floods and droughts just by taking
the usual precipitation pattern and doing a shift,» said George Huffman, a research meteorologist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
They found that the business - as -
usual scenario comes with large climate changes the world over and would create entirely new
patterns of temperature and
precipitation for 12 to 39 percent of Earth's land area.
