The climate change which we are experiencing is due to global warming.
Heat is the fuel of weather systems. More heat, more extreme weather.
Thus, Global Warming adds energy to the Earth%26#039;s biosphere.
Energy drives the water cycle.
The more energy there is the faster the water cycle is driven and the more extreme the weather patterns become.
Each one degree rise in the temperature of the world%26#039;s oceans is the equivalent to 1.4 BILLION one Megaton atom bombs; that is a lot of energy!
It shouldn%26#039;t be surprising that the result is more extreme weather. More rain, more drought and more storms.
