Intense rainfall due to climate change could raise flood risk

[cedric]

Climate scientists have issued a fresh warning over the future risk of flooding after research showed heavy rainstorms are likely to become even more intense than predicted.

Rainfall is expected to increase with global warming because the atmosphere can hold more water as it heats up, but the extent to which rainfall patterns will change in the future has been unclear.

1. See, see, scientist say rainfall patterns change in the future is unclear.

And if it is unclear, and scientist don't know every last detail, than there is no climate change/global warming. Isn't that the logic of the whores for the oil monopolies? Any doubt means it's not true.

Eco-terrorists want you to buy into climate change because they don't love oil monopolies and their billions of dollars in oil profits. Who cares that you are destroying the earth as long as huge multi national oil CEOs are making billions? As long as Exxon Mobile can make a profit, all is right with fascist America.

2. How many 500 year floods and 1,000 year droughts are required...

before it's commonly accepted we have some issues? How many of these simultaneous climate hits can any single region - Australia, Europe, North America, North and South Africa - withstand before the economy is in tatters with famine and disease the rule instead of the exception?

We live in interesting times.
