Global warming harms Earth’s water cycle: report
Climate change has significantly disrupted the Earth’s water cycle, leading to a surge in severe water-related disasters.
According to a report released by the Australian National University, the world has set new temperature records, and extreme precipitation events intensified in 2024.
More than half of the world’s population across 111 countries endured their hottest year on record, with 34 nations setting new maximum temperature records.
Among the report’s notable findings is that climate change is intensifying water-related disasters.
Further rising temperatures from fossil fuel emissions are boosting the intensity and rainfall of monsoons, cyclones and other storm systems.
