  • Assessments of future water availability in South America are uncertain based on multiple coupled general circulation models. Shiogamaet al.identify global-scale metrics for measuring the reliability of water resource assessments, and indicate a higher probability of drying in the Amazon basin.

  • Polar temperatures have been warming significantly over the past few decades. A comparison between observational temperature records and model simulations shows that temperature changes in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions can be attributed to human activity.

  • A study that compares observed changes in precipitation over land averaged across latitudinal bands with changes simulated by climate models finds that human activity has had a detectable influence on the latitudinal pattern of precipitation change. Such human-induced changes contributed to the increase in precipitation in the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes and the decrease in precipitation in the Northern Hemisphere tropics and subtropics that occurred over the twentieth century.

  • Human emissions of greenhouse gasses — and related warming — have been shown to be an influence on global and regional warming and on broad-scale precipitation changes. But so far, assessing the human imprint on specific weather events has proven difficult. Now, publicly contributed climate simulations are used to show that increased greenhouse gas emissions substantially increased the risk of flood occurrence during the catastrophic 2000 England and Wales floods.
