Global evidence links rise in extreme precipitation to human-driven climate change

Phys.org  July 7, 2021
Detecting anthropogenic forcing is difficult to detect in observational record. Researchers at UCLA used artificial neural networks to find patterns of extreme precipitation in weather records. They found multiple lines of evidence that human activity has intensified extreme precipitation during recent decades. Even when the data sets were widely different, they were able to see the human influence…read more. Open Access TECHNICAL ARTICLE
