Global Surge in Deadly Flooding: A Growing Threat
TL;DR Summary
Scientists warn that destructive flooding events in countries like India, Japan, China, Turkey, and the United States are becoming more common due to storms forming in a warmer atmosphere caused by climate change. The warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, resulting in storms dumping more precipitation and causing deadly outcomes. The additional warming predicted by scientists will only exacerbate the situation. While climate change is not the direct cause of these storms, they are forming in an atmosphere that is becoming warmer and wetter.
