Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) is claimed to intensify hydrological processes. Data analysis indicates it does not. 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. Simplified, the paradigm says that wet gets wetter (flooding) and dry gets drier […]
