Climate Change and Severe Weather

Climate change is a major factor in the increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events. As the Earth's average temperature rises, the atmosphere can hold more water vapor, leading to more intense rainfall and flooding. Rising sea levels also contribute to coastal flooding, storm surges, and erosion.
