How come Global Warming is producing more rain?

Question

I live in a region that is in a severe drought. With the ice caps melting putting more unfrozen water in the world, and warmer weather increasing evaporation. How come we arn't seeing more rainfall?

Answer 1

Please don't listen to Bob's explanation without doing a little research to see just how ridiculous it is. Weather patterns being what they are, we will always have regions that suffer decreased rainfall. Unfortunately, it is apparently your "turn".

We have property on a lake that butts up against Army Corps of Engineer property (they maintain the lake's shoreline) that traditionally put us about 50 yards from the shore. Two years into a drought, and we were able to walk out past this shoreline well over a hundred yards onto the dry portion of the lake bed. Well, our drought is over and the Army Corps property is now submerged and the lake has encroached onto our property 10-15 yards. A dirt trail behind our property one week was a place for canoeing the next week.

Be patient. The rains will return.

Answer 2

Globally we are experiencing more rainfall but both weather and climate are complicated.

It's the mid to high lattitudes that we would expect to see the greatest increase in precipitation and indeed, this is what we are seeing.

Outside these zones there are places, especially those near the equator, where rainfall levels have diminished and it seems likely that this trend will continue.

It's complicated to explain why because there's so many factors involved that are related to each other, it would be like trying to explain why we have weather.

If you want to add whereabouts you are I can give you more specific info.

Answer 3

A hotter sun evaporating more waters from the seas and some places on the land
at the same time there is less water produced because of diminishing forests
so we can expect more rains in coastal regions and more droughts in the country side
at the same time .

Answer 4

Rain occurs when warm moist air from the South meets cold air from the North (in the Southern Hemisphere, that's reversed of course). Global warming is moving that border toward the poles, and away from people. Average rainfall will stay about the same or increase a little. But it won't be raining where we need it.

Answer 6

If you havent seen Al Gore's movie, he explains this. He said that there would be more temperature extremes; some places would get drought and others would get monsoons, so to speak. Its supposed to be that weather is becoming more extreme and the average global temperature is creeping up and at the root of the cause of normal weather patterns.

Answer 7

because what you are using is common sense, my friend.

common sense does not fit into the eviromentalists agenda.

only facts that prove the con... er... theory are acceptable.

the facts that contridict are ignored.

if you bring them up enough, they come up with a lie to counter it. if you see through that lie, they start defaming you.

all in an effort to keep you from waking up other people to the truth of it all.

it's an inconvient truth...............
