Global warming could cause more atmospheric rivers, flooding

The video discusses the unusual extreme rainfall in Asia during July 2018 and 2020, prompting scientists to create climate models to study the effects of global warming on rainfall patterns. The research indicates that a 4°C rise in global temperature could increase atmospheric rivers, leading to more frequent and severe flooding in Asia, Europe, and North America. Atmospheric rivers are narrow bands of moist air that can cause heavy rain or snow when they encounter barriers like mountains.
