BENGALURU, India (AP) — Ocean temperatures warmed by human-caused climate change fed the intense rainfall that triggered deadly floods and landslides across Asia in recent weeks, according to an analysis released Wednesday.
The rapid study by World Weather Attribution focused on heavy rainfall from cyclones Senyar and Ditwah in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Sri Lanka starting late last month. The analysis found that warmer sea surface temperatures over the North Indian Ocean added energy to the cyclones.
“When the atmosphere warms, it can hold more moisture. As a result, it rains more in a warmer atmosphere as compared to a world without climate change,” said Mariam Zachariah, with the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial College London and one of the report’s authors.
The speed at which the WWA releases their analysis helps inform the general public about the impacts of climate change, according to Zachariah.
“We want people everywhere to know about why something happened in their neighborhood,” Zachariah said. “But also be aware about the reasons behind some of the events unfurling across the world.”
The WWA often estimates how much worse climate change made a disaster using specific probabilities. In this case, though, the researchers said they could not estimate the precise contribution of climate change to the storms and ensuing heavy rains because of limitations in climate models for the affected islands.

ALL PROPAGANDA
They never give up
Finally science based BS.
Well, I'll start. The reason there has been a steep decline in squirrels in my neighborhood is because I have been shooting them.
Is that a bad thing?
They start with the fake climate change and end with the fake climate change ,LOL
Colder means drier.
Warmer means wetter.
The Sahara is a desert during cooler periods. It turns green when the world is warm.
For billions of years, the earth has warmed and cooled. That’s just the way it is.
It’s not our fault.
Blame China and India.
We didn’t have any hurricanes make landfall in the US this year.
“...human-caused climate change”
Stopped reading 7 words into the article.
The study says so, and studies are always right. If you don’t believe it you’re a racist.
Load of BS
I would think the melting cold glaciers would cool the Oceans. Hmmm.🤔
Give it up, Greenies. We are NOT going to deindustrialize our society.
I didn’t read this but would bet there was no mention of underwater volcanos and vents.
BS. Anyone who believes this crap is a fool. They do not cite what the temperature was, the location, when, and current temperature.
Asia has never had heavy rains and flooding before? Imagine that.
“Ocean warmed by climate change”. The climate here changes frequently...nearly every day.
AP is the leading climate propagandist. Relentless. Weapons grade BS.
How come we aren’t getting any of this increased rainfall in the western US? Shouldn’t there be increased rainfall everywhere?
Does anyone believe this tripe anymore?
