Some extremely alarming results of several studies investigating global warming were recently released and according to the scientists involved in the research, there seems to be a very strong connection between the tropical rains and the human-caused global warming.

Apparently, the heaviest tropical rain registered by the scientists, is about twice as powerful as the one calculated through the computer simulations, which were supposed to take into consideration all the factors.

The study was released by Richard P. Allan of the University of Reading in England and Brian J. Soden from the University of Miami, and was published in the online journal Science Express. It involved a careful analysis of NASA’s archived data about tropical rainfalls over a period of about 20 years. According to the investigations, as the atmosphere is getting warmer, the amounts of moisture get bigger and this causes a significant boost in the intensity of downpours.

To make things even worse, the greater amounts of rain will keep falling in the same regions as before, and as Dr. Soden put it, "The wet regions will get wetter and the dry regions will get drier."

Such warnings about the risks of extreme tropical rains have been given for many years, as they pose a great danger for the poor countries found in the tropic regions, which cannot even deal with the current situation, let alone what is soon to come, if the scientists are right. Dr. Soden is one of the people fighting for this cause, saying that "The better your infrastructure for dealing with extremes, the less vulnerable you are."
