Another year, another dimension shifts just enough to smell the burning edges of reality. Try not to make eye contact with the sky.

You only get to experience one type of precipitation for the rest of your life, how do you react? The environment does not suffer nor does the way in which the world works, you will just personally only get to experience this singular type of precipitation.

Spin to find out your type of precipitation:

Your Reaction:

This is a dream come true! I am living my ideal life.

Good. Not my favorite choice, but still really nice.

OK. I saw that I could get megacryometeor and that can literally kill you so...

Terrible. This is going to make life pretty awful and I hate this.

I am going to die/ I really really really hate this.

Climate change worsened rains and floods which killed dozens in southern Africa, study shows

Researchers say human-induced climate change worsened recent torrential rains and floods in southern Africa.

Excerpt from this story from the Associated Press (AP):

Human-caused climate change worsened recent torrential rains and floods that devastated parts of southern Africa, killing more than 100 people and displacing hundreds of thousands, researchers said Thursday.

A study by the World Weather Attribution, which analyzed the recent heavy rainfalls that caused severe flooding in parts of South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, showed that the region experienced a year’s worth of rain in a period of 10 days.

It resulted in widespread damage to housing and infrastructure estimated to run to millions of dollars, while humanitarian agencies say there is an escalating crisis for people displaced and facing hunger, disease outbreaks and a lack of health services because of the destruction.

Many homes and buildings in Mozambique were completely submerged under water and dozens of hospitals and clinics were destroyed, while roads and bridges were swept away in the South African provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga and parts of Zimbabwe.

The study was conducted by scientists from across the world using peer-reviewed methods to assess the impact of climate change on severe weather patterns and events.

The data obtained from the recent downpours, the rare magnitude of which occurs roughly once every 50 years, confirmed a “clear move toward more violent downpours,” the study said.

It was also compounded by the current La Nina weather phenomenon which naturally brings wetter conditions in the southern Africa region but was now operating within a much warmer atmosphere.

“Our analysis clearly shows that our continued burning of fossil fuels is not only increasing the intensity of extreme rainfall, but turning events that would have happened anyway into something much more severe,” said Izidine Pinto, a senior climate researcher at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute.

Pinto, who co-authored the study, said the climate models used struggled to pinpoint exactly how much worse the recent floods were made by climate change, but that a 40% increase in the intensity of the rains would be impossible to explain without human-caused climate change.
