Flood Risk in Europe Expected to Double by 2050
2014-03-03 17:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: The catastrophic floods that soaked Europe last summer and the United Kingdom this winter are part of the pattern of things to come. According to a new study of flood risk in Nature Climate Change annual average losses from extreme floods in Europe could increase fivefold by 2050. And the frequency of destructive floods could almost double in that period. About two-thirds of the losses to come could be explained by socio-economic growth, according to a team led by Brenden Jongman of the University...

Double flood trouble for Europe in the next 40 years
2014-03-02 19:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Europe's politicians should bulk-buy waterproof boots. By 2050 extreme floods will swamp Europe twice as often as they do now, and the annual costs of flood damage could increase fivefold. A new analysis of peak river flows provides some of the best evidence yet that climate change will make floods worse. However, other factors such as building in flood zones have a bigger effect on costs, because more buildings are in harm's way. Unlike earlier studies, this study incorporates patterns of...

Frequency of severe flooding across Europe 'to double by 2050'
2014-03-02 19:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The frequency of severe flooding across Europe is set to double by 2050 and over the same period there could be a nearly fivefold increase in the annual economic losses resulting from floods, a study has found. Climate change and an increase in rainfall will account for about a third of the losses by mid-century, with the rest of the increase being due to more properties and infrastructure falling within flood risk areas, scientists said. An analysis of how rainfall patterns are likely to change...
