“这在某种程度上和台风数量，台风强度和洪水量一样是极为明显的事情，”他说。

"It's partly the very obvious things like the number of cyclones and the intensity of the cyclones, and the amount of flooding," he said.

全球变暖也在加快地球水循环速度，降雨周期拉长，强度增大，既能导致洪水泛滥，也会促成连日无雨的旱情。

Global warming also seems to be speeding up the earth's hydrologic cycle, causing both floods and droughts (more rains fall in shorter periods, with longer gaps between).

而且，海平面升高就会增加沿海地区发生灾难性暴风雨的可能性，因为洪水可能会以前所末有的强度登陆。

Moreover, a higher sea level base would increases the risk of catastrophic storm surges in coastal areas, since flooding would likely extend island well beyond historic levels.
