In its "blue paper" on climate change published this month, China said the number of typhoons in the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea had declined significantly since the 1990s, but they were getting stronger. Taiwan also said in its climate change...
Climate change and the flood risk Is climate change causing increased flooding ? Can we see the effects on floods ?Arnell, Nigel
The hydrological cycle is expected to intensify with global warming, which likely increases the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the risk of flooding. The changes, however, often differ from the theorized expectation of increases in water‐holding capacity of the atmosphere in the warmer...
"Climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century. It's a threat that's been completely neglected, marginalised, ignored, by not just the global health community, by doctors, nurses and other health professionals, but also by policy-makers. And yet, in terms of our w...
"Climate change isn't a footnote to the story of these floods. It is the story," it said. Some politicians claim the flooding disaster was something no one could have predicted, it said, noting, "The truth is, scientists have been warning us for decades that climate change will worsen ...

Climate change is also causing significant changes in precipitation patterns. Some regions are experiencing more frequent and intense rainfall, which can lead to flooding. Floods can damage crops directly by submerging them in water, washing away the topsoil along with essential nutrients. In addition,...
SHARM EL SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) — Heavy rains and flooding that swamped Nigeria, Niger, Chad and the surrounding region between June and October this year was made 80 times more likely because of climate change, a rapid analysis by international climate attribution experts found. Analysis released ...
Climate change is driving sea levels to rise at a rate of about one-eighth of an inch per year. Higher sea levels push storm surges further inland, which creates more destructive flooding along the coastlines. Flooding results in damaged homes, ruined roads and contaminated drinking water, ...
