        Yeah, let's beat the Europeans on laziness.  If their purpose really
        is to save the planet, why not re-direct the "excess" consumption
        towards environmental causes?  I don't see how traveling, for example,
        in the extra free time is not a form of consumption.

AFP Warmer weather produces more intense rainfall: study Fri Aug 8, 12:27 AM ET WASHINGTON (AFP) - US and British researchers have confirmed the link between warmer climate and an increase in powerful rainstorms, according to a study released Thursday that underscores one of the challenges of global warming. WnmfDxJJQDQOrgF/Y=YAHOO/EXP=1218244574/L=NvhB5EWTVvr83xETQI4Vvw 7uRTfow0ic074ABQrJ/B=aqMZBdj8els-/J=1218237374419097/A=5406809/R=0/* The researchers even found that the increase of extreme rainfall was higher than what has been predicted in current computer models, according to the study published in the journal Science. The scientists pointed out that one of the biggest concerns regarding climate change is that heavy rainstorms will become more common and intense in a warmer climate due to the higher moisture available for condensation. The more powerful rains also increase the risk of flooding that could have substantial impacts on societies and economies, they said. To understand the link between warmer climate, the researchers used naturally-driven changes associated with the El Nino weather system as a laboratory for testing their hypotheses. El Nino is an occasional seasonal warming of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean that upsets normal weather patterns from the western seaboard of Latin America to East Africa, and potentially has a global impact on climate. Studying satellite observations from the past 20 years, the experts found that heavy rain events increased during warm periods and decreased during cold times. "A warmer atmosphere contains larger amounts of moisture which boosts the intensity of heavy downpours," said Brian Soden, associate professor at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science. "Comparing observations with results from computer models improves understanding of how rainfall responds to a warming world" said Richard Allan, of the University of Reading's Environmental Systems Science Centre. ckj7QOrgF/Y=YAHOO/EXP=1218244574/L=NvhB5EWTVvr83xETQI4Vvw7 uRTfow0ic074ABQrJ/B=b6MZBdj8els-/J=1218237374419097/A=5406810/R=0/* Add headlines to your personalized My Yahoo!
