Though sea level rise is of great concern, so should be <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Violent-Rain.html\">extreme rainfall (<b>violent rain<\/b>)<\/a>. One type of violent rain is an atmospheric river. <b>Atmospheric rivers are narrow bands of moisture that travel across the lower troposphere.<\/b> The Journal EOS in the <a href=\"https:\/\/eos.org\/articles\/atmospheric-rivers-spur-high-tide-floods-on-u-s-west-coast\">article Atmospheric Rivers Spur High-Tide Floods on U.S. West Coast<\/a> explains, &#8220;Atmospheric rivers, at their peak, <b>can carry as much water through the sky as the Amazon River<\/b> does on land. They unleash intense winds and heavy rain as they surge across the Pacific Ocean, eventually making landfall on the U.S. West Coast, contributing to many high-tide flooding events.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Both the sea and air temperatures are rising. <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Water-Vapor.html\">Warm air can hold more moisture than cool air<\/a>. Warmer sea temperatures result in more evaporation. Warmer air can hold more moisture. The increased moisture in the air moves over land causing inland deluges.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/The_Beatless_Sense_Mongers\/Were-Here\/\">The Beatless Sense Mongers: We&#8217;re Here&#8230; er, a&#8230; Were Here<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/4D-Music\/\">4D Music: Songs About Science<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can-You-Stop-the-Rain.mp4 Can-You-Stop-the-Rain.mp3 [Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] Can we stop the rain?
