> However, I think a far more important aspect is how much more active the system as a whole gets. I don't have time to get into it in detail here, but overall that means there will be more and more extremes. More droughts. More floods. More severe winds. More heat waves. More freezing storms.
I don't think there is much evidence to support this relationship. I'd be glad to be proven wrong.
- eloff 6y agoBasically as you add energy to the system things get more extreme. Storms including hurricanes and monsoons. Dry places and times get dryer due to increased evaporation. Wet places and times get wetter (more severe floods). It's a predictable consequence of higher temperatures.
