Climate change increases evaporation and puts more water vapor into the atmosphere, causing intense rainfall, flooding in some regions, and severe droughts in others. Warmer ocean temperatures intensify climate patterns, while overall higher temperatures lead to more frequent heatwaves, disrupting global weather patterns.
Alvaro Silva highlighted that extreme weather events are becoming more likely and intensifying due to greenhouse emissions. The climate expert noted that the changes in timing and duration of extreme events make it challenging to define what is normal in the climate.
