Climate also plays a significant role
“Changes in the global water cycle in response to the warming over the
21st century will not be uniform. The contrast in precipitation between wet
and dry regions and between wet and dry seasons will increase.”
IPCC September 2013
![Page 14: Sustainable Development Goals and the Nexus](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b97f804a795956298b457d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Climate also plays a significant role
“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia.”
IPCC (September 2013)

Climate also plays a significant role
“Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth’s
surface than any preceding decade since 1850.
In the Northern Hemisphere, 1983–2012 was likely the warmest 30-year period of
the last 1400 years” IPCC September 2013

President Obama – State of the Union
• “It’s true that no single event makes a trend. But the fact is, the 12 hottest years on record have all come in the last 15. Heat waves, droughts, wildfires, floods, all are now more frequent and more intense. We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy, and the most severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence. Or we can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science and act before it’s too late. “
