"Climate change will make the world much nastier place Quotable Climate scientist Bob Watson says recent floods in Asia are a result of human-driven climate change, and action must be taken to prevent even more extreme weather in the future."

Human-driven climate change has increased the intensity of recent floods in Asia and is making extreme weather events more likely. Rising greenhouse gas concentrations amplify the water cycle, increasing heavy rainfall and flood risk in vulnerable regions. The trend points to a future with more frequent and severe storms, heatwaves, and floods that will worsen social, economic, and environmental harm globally. Urgent mitigation to reduce emissions and adaptation to protect communities and infrastructure are necessary to limit further worsening of climate impacts. Without concerted action, extreme weather will become more damaging and disruptive.
