Models predict climate change impacts on erosivity from 2000-2100
Greenhouse gas emissions are expected to increase global temperatures and cause significant rainfall changes. These predicted global climate changes are already impacting the United States. Historical weather records over the last century show that the number of rain days and frequency of high-intensity rainfall have increased.
Chances are less than one in 1,000 that these precipitation patterns would have changed under a more stable climate. We also have good scientific reason to believe that these types of changes will conti...
