According to Dr. Kerry Emanuel, MIT scientist, the record of destructive storms were at record levels in the past ten years. Hurricane Katrina that swept the Gulf States in 2004 was an example of environmental disaster from global warming.
Evaporation rate is also predicted to increase, because of global warming. Evaporation rate will increase due to warmer oceans. As a result, heavier rainfall and more land erosion are expected phenomenon across the globe. The erosion can invulnerable tropical areas lead to desertification due to deforestation. On the bright side, increasing rainfall can increase the growth of forests in the desert areas. Scientist predicts that the cost of catastrophic storms will increase by 2.8% with 1% increase in annual precipitation.
Global warming also causes extreme heat wave. According to the National Climate Data Center, summer in 2005 is one of the hottest summers on the records since 1880. The records show that nine out of top ten warmest summers happened since 1995.
