Scientists find climate changes fingerprints in French floods

Associated Press: An international team of scientists has found that man-made climate change nearly doubled the likelihood of last month's devastating French flooding. In a quick but not peer-reviewed analysis, the World Weather Attribution team of climate scientists used past rainfall data and computer simulations to look for global warming's fingerprints in the downpours in France and Germany. A senior climate researcher at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, Geert Jan van Oldenborgh, says the team's...

'Climate change implicated in France floods'

AFP: Torrential rains which caused flooding in France recently bore the unmistakable fingerprint of climate change, according to research to be submitted to a scientific journal next week. Global warming, especially in the last 50 years, had almost doubled the likelihood of the kind of three-day downpour that burst the banks of the Seine and Loire rivers, they calculated. At the very least, the probability of such an extreme rainfall event had increased by more than 40 per cent. "We found that...

Global warming made Paris floods far more likely, rapid analysis shows

Mashable: The water is still receding along the Seine and Loire Rivers in France, with cleanup beginning in parts of Bavaria, but scientists are already out with a study showing that global warming made the floods at the end of May and early June far more likely compared to a climate that had not warmed due to greenhouse gas emissions. The analysis, which is known as an extreme event "attribution study," found that the probability of three-day precipitation extremes in April through June increased by at...

Paris floods made almost twice as likely by climate change, say scientists

Guardian: The Paris floods, that saw extreme rainfall swell the river Seine to its highest level in decades, were made almost twice as likely because of the manmade emissions driving global warming, scientists have found. A three-day period of heavy rain at the end of May saw tens of thousands of people evacuated across France, and the capitals normally busy river closed to traffic because the water levels were so high under bridges. As artworks in the Louvre were moved to safety and Pariss cobbled walkways...
Australia: Floods set to peak across Australian state of Tasmania, threaten historic city

Reuters: Flooding in Tasmania - Australia's southernmost state - will peak on Wednesday, the country's Bureau of Meteorology said, threatening one of the country's oldest cities. Australia's east coast was battered this week by heavy rains, bringing giant waves and cyclone-strength winds. As the weather system moved south, it struck Tasmania in recent days. Parts of Tasmania recorded about a month's worth of rain. The recent wild weather across Australia's east coast and Tasmania is likely to bring...
