背景:
- 地球の気温が上昇すると 大気中の水分量が増加し 極端な降雨が発生します
- 降水変動の増加は理論的に予想されるが,観測証拠は限られている.
- 人為的な温暖化は観測された気候パターンの主要な要因である.
研究 の 目的:
- 世界的に降雨の変動が増加した観測証拠を確認し,定量化する.

- 観測された降水変動の主な要因を特定する.
主な方法:
- 20世紀における世界の降水量の分析
- 異なる時間スケール (毎日から季節内) にわたる降水変動傾向の統計的評価.
- 人為的な温暖化と関連する熱力学および動的要因への変動の帰属.
主要な成果:
- 降雨の変動は,世界の陸地面積の75%以上で,大幅に増加しました.
- 毎日降雨の変動は10年ごとに1.2%増加しています.

Global Climate Change
24.3K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Threats to Biodiversity
22.2K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

What is Climate?
18.4K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss
25.4K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Biodiversity and Human Values

Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.
