<i>[ Some science explains heavy rains ]</i><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>With Climate Change, Smaller Storms Are
Growing More Fearsome, More Often</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The Friday storm that produced vast flooding in
New York City started out earlier in the week as an unremarkable —
if unpredictable — weather system...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The storm ended up joining forces with another
low-pressure weather system coming in from the west. “Where they
converged is where the heavy rain occurred,” he said. That just
happened to be right over New York City. And “that is the nature
of science sometimes,” he added...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Fall in the Northeast, when hurricane remnants
and nor'easters increasingly come through, is prone to continuous,
heavy rainfall, said Upmanu Lall, an engineering professor and the
director of the Columbia Water Center at Columbia University. “If
we just had a cloudburst during the summer, nothing much happens,
because it’s possible to drain out,” he said.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">But with climate change, sustained rainfall is
now happening in the summer as well, if the recent downpours in
July, and subsequent catastrophic flooding that struck parts of
Vermont and the Hudson Valley, are any example.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">And just as no two storms are alike, flooding
also can vary, depending on whether it comes from the coast or the
sky, Mr. Kruczkiewicz said.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“In New York City, when we think of coastal
flooding, there are areas we know that are high risk,” he said.
“But flash flooding has nothing to do with tides,” he said. “It’s
coming from the sky and it’s driven by intense precipitation,” so
flash floods can pop up anywhere there is poor drainage
infrastructure.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“The water from flash floods tends to rise
faster than any kind of flood,” Mr. Kruczkiewicz said. And when
you add ailing infrastructure or poor drainage into the mix, he
added, all bets are off.</font><br>

Microplastics in clouds could be exacerbating climate change,
study says</b><br>
Published on 29/09/2023 <br>
<br>
The presence of tiny plastics in clouds risks the contamination of
‘everything we eat and drink’, researchers say.<br>
<br>
Microplastics have been discovered in clouds, where scientists say
they could be contributing to climate change.<br>
<br>
Researchers found several types of polymers and rubber in the water
in cloud water surrounding Mount Fuji, Japan’s biggest mountain, and
Mount Ōyama.<br>
<br>
Their study, published in the journal Environmental Chemical
Letters, joins a growing body of evidence showing that plastic
pollution has infiltrated most ecosystems on Earth.<br>

<font face="Calibri"> October 1, 2013: Syndicated columnist Eugene
Robinson writes:</font><br>
<blockquote><font face="Calibri">"Skeptics and deniers can make all
the noise they want, but a landmark new report is unequivocal:
There is a 95 percent chance that human-generated emissions of
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are changing the
climate in ways that court disaster.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">"That's the bottom line from the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which Monday released
the latest of its comprehensive, every-six-years assessments of
the scientific consensus about climate change. According to the
IPCC, there is only a 1-in-20 chance that human activity is not
causing dangerous warming.</font><br>
