Thunderstorms are another important category, because they are frequently associated not only with high winds and intense rainfalls Patient but also with hail and tornadoes. [ 2CANADACCD9801 0 TK 09/08/2013 ]

Crop production and aquaculture would be threatened by thermal and water stresses, sea-level rise, increased flooding, and strong winds associated with intense tropical cyclones Patient (high confidence). [ 3IPCCCONSEQUENCE 0 TK 09/08/2013 ]

When precipitation Patient is intense , less of the water enters the soils to recharge groundwater and more runs off into streams, rivers, wetlands and lakes. [ 5CANADAICC 0 TK 09/08/2013 ]

Ironically, while spring floods due to rapid snow melt may decrease in frequency, there may be an increase in the risk of more Degree intense and frequent summer flooding Patient and the related damages that such floods can cause. [ 5CANADAICC 0 TK 09/08/2013 ]

During periods of intense drought Patient , dust storms and smoke from forest fires can add to this stress. [ 5CANADAICC 0 TK 09/08/2013 ]

So far, during the 1990s alone, the world has witnessed at least half a dozen floods of epic proportions in Canada and the United States, central Europe, and southern China as well as intense droughts in northern China, >northern Vietnam, North Korea, and southern Europe.

Several recent studies have indicated that the behaviour of El Niños during the past two decades has been very unusual when compared with historical records, and that warmer climates might indeed cause more Degree intense El Niño type behaviour Patient . [ 6CANADAQFP 0 TK 09/08/2013 ]

Analyses of the return periods of extreme precipitation events in the CGCM1 simulations suggest that rainfall Patient will, on average, become more Degree intense in almost all regionsof the world Location , although the magnitude of such changes is still rather uncertain. [ 1CANADACCD 0 TK 09/08/2013 ]

However, very Degree intense extra-tropical storms (which were defined as those with a central pressure of less than 97 kPa) Patient were seen to increase significantly. [ 1CANADACCD 0 TK 09/08/2013 ]

Increased fuel loads can in turn lead to more Degree frequent or intense fires Patient , possibly reducing tree survival and decreasing stored carbon. [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 TK 09/08/2013 ]

Recent research, however, suggests that there is a possibility that this gradual global warming could lead to a relatively abrupt slowing of the ocean 's thermohaline conveyor , which could lead to harsher winter weather conditions, sharply reduced soil moisture, and more Degree intense winds Patient in certain regions that currently provide a significant fraction of the world 's food production. [ RAPPORTPENTAGONE 0 TK MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

Water shortage, water quality problems, and more Degree frequent and intense waves Patient in southern Europe could cause notable reductions in summer tourism. [ VULNERABILITY 0 TK MCLH 24/06/2014 ]
