American research shows: human activities lead to more global rainfall
[Global Times reporter Wang Yi] According to a report by the British "Guardian" on the 7th, a recent study by the University of California, Los Angeles showed that human activities such as greenhouse gas emissions and land use changes have caused floods and landslides around the world. The key factor in the occurrence of extreme events.
Natural changes in climate will affect precipitation. In fact, human activities will also lead to increased precipitation. Researchers have found that man-made climate change is causing global temperatures to rise. Despite regional differences, data from the UK Met Office show that heavy rainfall is increasing globally. These brief and intense rainfalls caused flash floods, which had devastating effects on infrastructure and the environment.
The person in charge of the study said that it is important to find that “human activities affect precipitation”, which enables humans to manage water resources and take corresponding measures to deal with the impact of climate change. Oxford University researchers said that if the world continues to warm, humans will experience more extreme precipitation events and extreme droughts.
