The United States is already experiencing more intense rain and snow storms.
As the Earth warms, the amount of rain or snow falling in the heaviest one percent of storms has risen nearly 20 percent on average in the United Statesalmost three times the rate of increase in total precipitation between 1958 and 2007.
In other words, the heaviest storms have very recently become even heavier.
They call it completely predictable.
"Big snowfall, big rainstorms, we've been saying this for years," says climate scientist Don Wuebbles of the University of Illinois in Urbana. "More very large events becoming more common is what you would expect with climate change, particularly in the Northeast."
