The climate crisis will jeopardize key sources of fresh water and make extreme weather events more severe. These events are unlikely in our current climate—but the warmer Earth gets, the bigger the risk becomes. It finds more evidence that severe weather events are linked to carbon in the atmosphere and are becoming more extreme.
