* Another impact is that warming causes polar ice to melt into the sea, which turns fresh water into sea water, although this has little direct effect on water supply.

* The combined effect of less rainfall and more evaporation means less soil moisture available for crop growth and also less runoff in regions with marginal rainfall this loss of soil moisture can be critical.]]> 2019-12-09 05:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/3512782/tdkk72a79h36/wish/421450765 The changing pattern of climate extremes, especially droughts and floods, will be the cause of most of the problems 3512782 https://padlet.com/3512782/tdkk72a79h36/wish/421451117 2019-12-09 05:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/3512782/tdkk72a79h36/wish/421451117 Adaptation 3512782 https://padlet.com/3512782/tdkk72a79h36/wish/421451713 - Flood embankments & Reservoirs

It is caused by gases in the air that trap energy from the Sun. These heat-trapping gases are called greenhouse gases. The most common greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.

Since tracking began in 1980, of the top four most economically costly US weather and climate disasters, three are water-related:
  1. tropical cyclones (hurricanes) at $870.2 billion;
  2. droughts at $241 billion;
  3. severe storms at $219 billion; and
  4. inland flooding at $123 billion." (watercalculator.org)
