Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) is claimed to intensify hydrological processes. Data analysis indicates it does not.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A paradigm has emerged in recent decades that says there has been and\/or will be a worsening of hydrological extremes as a consequence of global warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified, the paradigm says that wet gets wetter (flooding) and dry gets drier (drought).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But new global data analyses suggest (a) no trends in drought in the last 120 years (Shi et al., 2022<\/a><\/strong>), and (b) declining flood magnitudes as the climate warms (He et al., 2022<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With regard to drought, the global trends indicate there has actually been a de-intensification of meteorological (climate-related) drought from 1959-2014 relative to to 1902-1959.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe results revealed that: 1) meteorological drought in most climate regions intensified during 1902\u20131958 but showed a wetting trend during 1959\u20132014.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And, likewise, flood magnitudes have not just been flat, but they have been declining as the climate has warmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe find most of the world shows decreases in flood volumes with increasing temperature.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[O]bservational records often present more evidence for a decrease in annual flood maxima.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
