Extreme rainfall increases exponentially with global warming: Study

State-of-the-art climate models drastically underestimate how much extreme rainfall increases under global warming, according to a study published Monday that signals a future of more frequent catastrophic floods unless humanity curbs greenhouse emissions. "Our study confirms that the intensity and frequency of heavy rainfall extremes are increasing exponentially with every increment of global warming," said Max Kotz, lead author of the paper published in the Journal of Climate.
