The horrific rainstorms which create the destructive flooding that is occurring more frequently now are another product of global warming. The air holds about seven percent more water for every degree of Celsius warming. Therefore storms produce greater deluges which the earth can not absorb rapidly enough. Humans need to reevaluate paving, drainage systems, and other manmade “improvements” which stand in the way of nature. Ending global warming is a good beginning point. Source – The Week
