Climate Change and floodsAlthough it isn’t clear if climate change is inducing floods directly, scientists maintain that it’s certainly exacerbating many of the factors that do. Similarly, scientists are yet to figure out the relationship between tornadoes and climate change. “While we need to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit the damages caused by climate change, the role of climate change in this extreme rain event is unclear,” they added.
