<p>In a new study, researchers broke down how human-induced greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions influence rainfall in the United States. Greenhouse gas emissions increase rainfall, while aerosols have a long-term drying effect as well as short-term impacts that vary with the seasons. As aerosols decrease, their long-term drying effect will likely diminish, causing rainfall averages and extremes to rapidly increase.</p>
The study specifically examines the impact of greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions on both average and extreme rainfall. It confirms that increased greenhouse gas emissions, which disperse globally, lead to increased rainfall. The influence of aerosols is more complex. - Newsx

World Resources Institute research shows water supplies are being threatened across the world, including parts of the Mountain West, due to climate change.
A recent study led by scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of Zurich has revealed that the organic compounds proposed for carbon sequestration in deep soil are highly vulnerable to decomposition under global warming.
