Five myths about extreme weather - Manish Bapna and Jennifer Morgan - The Washington Post
It seems counterintuitive that climate change could be responsible for both withering droughts and devastating floods. Yet it can. Scientists have found that climate change can trigger periods of intense rainfall followed by long spells of dry weather.
