Coverage from Nature, Scientific American, and others

Recent climate attribution work consistently shows human warming is intensifying heavy rainfall, increasing flash-flood likelihood, and widening flood exposure in Spain, West Africa, and the wider flood-risk literature.

The strongest signal is scientific analysis of recent events, paired with adaptation-focused discussion about drainage, land use, early warning, and infrastructure resilience.
