I've seen in the news this article from the Guardian today: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/14/uk-weather-storms-continue-england-flash-floods-met-office
Surely it's not the first flood we had, but it seems stronger than before. Is that an effect of climate change? And if so, will it get worse every year?
Good morning @ChristoPher
According to the American Meteorological Society Bulletin, the human influence is significant on the occurrence of weather events, and particularly a growing number of studies are also finding a human influence on the risk of extreme rainfall events.
So I would say that, even though extreme rainfall events and flash floods are not a consequence of the human activity, its frequency and intensity is likely to be.
As such, if human greenhouse gas emissions do not drop radically in the next years and decades, those events will get worse.
