"Three to five billion people – or up to two-thirds of the world’s population –
are set to be affected by projected rainfall changes by the end of the century
unless the world rapidly ramps up emissions reduction efforts, according to new
research by myself and colleagues.
To date, the effects of climate change on global rainfall has been uncertain.
This has hampered our capacity to adapt to climate change and prepare for
natural disasters.
Our method overcomes this uncertainty. We identified the regions where multiple
climate models make similar projections about future rainfall impacts, and so
reveal the global hot spots for drier and wetter conditions in future.
Our findings have deep implications for a large proportion of the world’s
population – including millions of Australians."
