TL;DR Summary

A study by the Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research reveals that state-of-the-art climate models underestimate the increase in extreme rainfall caused by global warming. The study found that the intensity and frequency of heavy rainfall extremes are increasing exponentially with each increment of global warming. The findings highlight the urgent need to curb greenhouse emissions to prevent more frequent catastrophic floods. The study comes ahead of the COP28 summit, where countries will discuss climate change mitigation strategies.
