Anticipating how rising atmospheric carbon dioxide will affect the water cycle, including extreme weather forecasts, is critical to preparing for and predicting the future of the planet.

Why is the water cycle intensifying? Water cycles through the environment, moving between the atmosphere, ocean, land and reservoirs of frozen water.
