Model Predicts Future Heat Waves Will be More Intense

Last year's hot weather in France made August miserable for most
citizens and claimed thousands of lives. Climate modeling results
published today in the journal Science indicate that heat waves at the
end of the 21st century will be more severe, more frequent and longer
lasting than those of recent years.

Gerald Meehl and Claudia Tebaldi of the National Center for
Atmospheric Research (NCAR) utilized the Parallel Climate Model to
investigate the behavior of future heat waves. "Extreme weather events
will have some of the most severe impacts on human society as climate
changes," Meehl remarks. The researchers ran the model for both the
20th century, using data from 1961 to 1990, and the 21st, predicting
events for 2080 to 2099, assuming little in the way of policy
intervention for greenhouse gas emissions.


The biggest green house gas in the atmosphere
is water vapour and the 0.03% of CO2 in the
atmosphere contributes to nothing to greenhouse.
So this is a complete lie printed by the US national
centre for atmosphere research.
