Climate change exacerbates extreme weather events due to various interconnected factors. Rising global temperatures lead to increased evaporation from oceans, resulting in more moisture in the atmosphere. This excess moisture fuels intense rainfall, contributing to floods and landslides. What’s more, warming temperatures also lead to the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, causing sea levels to rise. This elevation in sea levels intensifies storm surges and coastal flooding during hurricanes and typhoons, impacting coastal communities.
Moreover, climate change disrupts atmospheric circulation patterns, leading to alterations in weather systems. This disruption can cause prolonged droughts in some regions, exacerbating water scarcity and agricultural losses.
Climate change can also increase the likelihood of extreme weather events by altering the frequency and intensity of natural climate oscillations, such as El Niño and La Niña. These oscillations can exacerbate existing weather patterns, leading to more frequent and severe droughts, floods, and storms.
