Greenhouse Gases Affect Rainfall Differently Than Natural Global Warming
2013-01-31 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: An international group of scientists has shown that global warming from greenhouse gases affects global rainfall patterns differently than global warming from solar heating. Using computer model simulations, the research team showed that global rainfall has increased less over the present-day warming period than during the Medieval Warm Period between 950 and 1250 AD despite the fact that temperatures today are higher than during that time. The findings of this study were published in todays...

Four of the five wettest years since records began in 1910 have occurred since the turn of the century. "Changes in...
