How has the global warming impacted the frequency & intensity of extreme weather events such as (cyclones), (floods), and (droughts) & what are the implications of these changes for vulnerable communities?
Main Body
Global warming due to Anthropogenic & natural factors has caused widespread changes in weather pattern on the earth.
Impact on Extreme weather events:
L: warming sea surface temperature has increased frequency of cyclones
for eg: Arabian sea's cyclones, L intensity: has increased in some areas & decreased in other L unpredictable cyclonic events eg: California hurricane's.
L: glacial lake outburst flood increase eg: Kedarnath 2013 flood.
L: urban flooding more severe eg: Delhi, Bangalore (2022) L huge monsoon (exacerbated by Ed.ning) g: kerala floods (2019)
L: Drought:
L intensity is becoming more severe for eg: Southern Europe (2023), Causing wildfires & further drought eg: Australian bushfire (2018). L frequency is increasing eg: western USA.
Implications on vulnerable Communities:
L: to Agricultural productivity decreases L Inflation & price rise of perishable goods eg: Tomato
- Uses diverse and recent case studies
- Differentiates between frequency and intensity changes
- Addresses both natural and urban flooding contexts
- Provides recent and diverse examples of droughts
- Connects climate extremes to economic consequences
- Includes price inflation impacts
