Student in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University Most people remember the water cycle they learned in school: water evaporates from lakes, rivers, and the ocean, air carrying this moisture rises, cools, condenses, and forms clouds, and these clouds precipitate water back down to the surface.

Some of the impacts of climate change are playing out faster and with a greater magnitude than we predicted.”. Juan Declet-Barreto , UCS senior social scientist for climate vulnerability, pays close attention to this issue. Put simply, climate change has transformed summer into the Danger Season.

Here are a few things that mark this report out from previous versions that relate to issues we’ve discussed here before: Extreme events are increasingly connected to climate (duh!) Extremes : Back in 2012, the literature assessed by AR5 connecting changes in extremes to climate change was scant.

(Figure 1) These properties are a double-edged sword: while they are the root of the problems that black carbon causes, they also make mitigating black carbon one of the most actionable ways to fight climate change.
