Climate Change Could Open Up 'Rivers in The Sky' Over East Asia
The pouring rain will be brought on by atmospheric rivers, scientists predict.
According to the researchers’ models, rainfall events in East Asia will be more frequent and more severe in the coming decades as the planet warms up.
“Atmospheric rivers will bring unprecedented extreme rainfall over East Asia under global warming.”
This is just the latest link between climate change and an increasing frequency of extreme weather events.
The researchers say that the modeling could also apply to other areas where atmospheric rivers might develop.
