Climate science: The investment forecast
Reiner Schnur1
Abstract
New studies predict that the risk of extreme rainfall over Europe and Asian monsoon regions is increasing, with more floods likely worldwide. Such long-range forecasting is pushing at the limit of current climate models.
The world's climate changed during the twentieth century and is continuing to do so. At least part of this change is caused by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and sulphate aerosols, according to the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)1.
- Reiner Schnur is at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Bundesstrasse 55, 20146 Hamburg, Germany.
