Two Important Papers February 26, 2011 : 4:15 PM

Joe Romm at Climate Progress reported on two important new papers from the Journal Nature that join the "growing body of evidence that human emissions fuel extreme weather, flooding that harm humans and the environment.”

Two seminal Nature papers join growing body of evidence that human emissions fuel extreme weather, flooding that harm humans and the environment
February 16, 2011

Here we show that human-induced increases in greenhouse gases have contributed to the observed intensification of heavy precipitation events found over approximately two-thirds of data-covered parts of Northern Hemisphere land areas. These results are based on a comparison of observed and multi-model simulated changes in extreme precipitation over the latter half of the twentieth century analysed with an optimal fingerprinting technique.

Changes in extreme precipitation projected by models, and thus the impacts of future changes in extreme precipitation, may be underestimated because models seem to underestimate the observed increase in heavy precipitation with warming.

1. Human emissions?

No more beans, you guys!

2. These papers cover studies only up to the year 2000

So they've been vindicated by the hottest decade known to what seems to me to be the wettest few years yet.
