America’s Flooded Future

Why rain in the Northeastern United States is getting more intense and more destructive

One contributing factor is the global rise in greenhouse gas emissions. Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have emitted about 535 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide. Those gases have increased the water vapor content of the atmosphere, thus making rainy areas like the Northeast more susceptible to severe rain. (The Northeast gets more precipitation than any other region in America.)

This picture shows that rainfall is going up in the Northeast and down in the Southwest. I wonder if there could be a way that we could somehow transport all that water from the Northeast to the Southwest. The Southwest really needs water. I would be interesting if one day we had the technology to transport that water in the places that actually need it.
