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 extreme events to develop, which links us back notjust to the rain we have seen in western europe, but ...

Climate change is having. you make the planet warmer you're going to get longer and intense heat waves, you're going to evaporate more moisture into the atmosphere so there's 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 we've seen. that's all pretty easy to explain. but we're seeing an increase in the persistence and frequency of these events that can't simply be explained by those factors. it requires something more, and it seems to have to do with...

20,000 year event. we shouldn't 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 moisture into the atmosphere, so there is more moisture to turn into record rainfall events and flooding ...

Days for the traffic to resume. the flooding has caused landslides in vancouver and washington state. let's 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 what's 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 canada. now we're talking about daily record rainfall events shattered for places like abbotsfordville...
