DROUGHT AND FLOODS CAUSED BY EMISSION
Along with increases in human emissions, the time of natural events that climate scientists expect to happen in the near future has been pushed forward.
In addition to the historic high temperatures seen in the summer, flooding in areas such as Germany has worried scientists. It was calculated that these natural events, the expected consequences of global warming, would occur in later years. But climate disasters such as floods, wildfires and droughts from North America to Central Asia are not decimated.

IT WILL BE MORE EXTREME
An expert at the European Centre for Weather Forecasts, said: “We expect all hydro-meteorological extremes to become more extreme with climate change. What we are seeing in Germany is largely consistent with this trend,” he said.
According to analysis in the Guardian, climatic events are raising fears that human-caused disruption is making extreme weather worse than predicted.

CLIMATOLOGISTS WORRY ” THRESHOLD HAS BEEN EXCEEDED ”
Climate scientists have long predicted that human-induced emissions will cause more floods, heatwaves, droughts, storms and other extreme weather events. But the recent spikes have also raised concerns among scientists that “the threshold has been exceeded.” A climate scientist at the University of California, said that a large number of records were broken in the United States this summer, and now this is attracting less media attention. “USA is often the centre of attention, but we’ve also seen extraordinary temperature events in Northern Europe and Siberia, ” said. It’s not a local freak event, it’s definitely part of a consistent global pattern.”
