The drastic change in climate over the past century has been illustrated by:
- A
Increase in rainfall
- B
Decrease in rainfall
- C
Colder winter
- D
Warmer winter
There is an increase in rainfall in some areas and a decrease in others. The temperature of the globe is increasing, so winters are becoming warmer.
Climate change can lead to increased rainfall in some regions due to higher evaporation rates and increased moisture in the atmosphere, but this is not a universal trend.
While some areas may experience decreased rainfall, this is not a consistent indicator of climate change as global warming tends to increase atmospheric moisture.
Climate change generally leads to milder winters due to the overall increase in global temperatures, making colder winters less common.
As global temperatures rise, winters have become warmer on average, illustrating one of the key effects of climate change.
