Another area of low pressure developing on this one is working into the central mediterranean and will bring again some extreme rainfall. it has been named by the authorities as storm nino. it will be wet for corsica and sardinia and most of mainland italy but the extreme rain will be across north—western areas of the country particularly around the piedmont area and we could be looking at 300 millimetres of rain. again we are talking about extreme rainfall with a really high chance of seeing ...

Spots in the u. s. a lot of rainfall came down one in 1000 year, rainfall events happened many times across the u. s so what do we know? heres what we know about climate change. theres going to be heatwaves. were going to have coastal flooding because the oceans are rising. the oceans are rising for the same reason if you put your thumb on a thermometer, that mercury or that red alcohol will go up. if you warm the ocean, it gets bigger. so it also goes up the thermal expansion, very heavy rainfa...

Have warmed up to the planet weve put more moisture in the atmosphere so for example when you ge those rainfall events, the produce a lot more of that rain and they give us extreme flooding like this case. >> with some positivity, docto man, you argued it all is no lost in the battle against climate change but you do say that placing -- a on human behavior is the result of a multi millio dollar marketing campaign by fossil fuel industries and corporations that frankly th politicians that they ar...

Tornadoes, or even, you know, wildfires, tropical cyclones is kind of down here in the middle to what we understand and what we dont, and we can relate to climate change. here is what we flow. more rapid intensification, you get warmer water and intensification, and pretty simple with stronger hurricanes. wetter hurricanes, tax the atmosphere can hold more moisture so we can get bigger rainfall events and because the sea level is going up, then you get the storm surge on top of it. so we know th...

Considering how to look after regularly? well, it is about - considering how to look after the vulnerable. how to keep their homes cool vulnerable. how to keep their homes cool. but in the longer term hard to adapt buildings so that they are better suited to the warmer climate. its notjust the warmer climate that we have heard in the reports. there is drought in northern italy, there are wildfires because of the hot dry windy conditions. we need to take action to prepare against avoiding these e...

Left with a slow—moving cut—off area of low pressure across germany which developed the rain and keep going. that area low pressure also to do some temperature contrasts that we have seen across europe, drawing on some really warm and muqqy drawing on some really warm and muggy airfrom the mediterranean. now to the climate question. simple physics says that warmer air is going to hold more moisture, hence more rain and we are likely to find more extreme rainfall events. interestingly, the cl...

Pressure also tapped into some temperature contrast we saw across europe, drawing into really warm and muggy air from the mediterranean. now to the climate question, simple physics says that warmer air is going to hold more moisture, hence more rain and we are more likely to find more extreme rainfall events. interestingly, the climate scientist are also studying the impact of climate change on the jet stream does just does make it more undulating? does it slowly weather down and allow these ext...

Climate change is having. you make the planet warmer youre going to get longer and intense heat waves, youre going to evaporate more moisture into the atmosphere so theres more moisture to turn into record rainfall events and flooding epvents. and you take the heat and the summer drought as the warm air bakes the earth, you get these unprecedented droughts like weve seen. thats all pretty easy to explain. but were seeing an increase in the persistence and frequency of these events that cant simp...

20,000 year event. we shouldnt be seeing things like this. accounting for climate, it was a warmup in 1,000 year event. that tells you the models we are using to diagnose the impacts of climate change on this extreme -- these extreme weather events, if anything, are underestimating the impact that climate change is having. some of the ingredients are pretty easy to predict. you make the planet warmer, you are going to get longer and more intense heat waves. you are going to evaporate more moistu...

Days for the traffic to resume. the flooding has caused landslides in vancouver and washington state. lets bring in derek van dam. do you know how long this respite is in sight? >> two words come to mind when i think about telling this story and whats happened to british columbia lately. that is weather whiplash. this has got the finger prints of climate written all over it. not 140 days ago we were talking about record breaking high temperatures in that province for the entire country of cana...
