| Abstract | Throughout much of the US climate change will be felt largely through its effects on warm season extreme events like flooding rains, heat waves, fires, and droughts. Basic thermodynamics suggests that the severity and frequency of these events should increase, for instance the hottest heat waves are likely to get hotter in a warming climate and storm intensity is likely to increase because warmer air holds more moisture. The thermodynamic arguments help but the full suite of processes that affec |
