1. The climate is warming (glaciers and polar ice retreating). Sea levels will rise faster.
2. The rate of evaporation of water to water vapour is increasing.
3. More water vapour in the atmosphere means more precipitation overall, as well as more latent heat release in the atmosphere.
4. In some areas storms will become more violent, and rainfall more intense, so more flooding.
5. Global weather patterns will shift leading to changes in farming viability in many areas.

'Tis happening now and will only get worse.
