Anthropogenic amplification of precipitation variability over the past century As the climate warms, the consequent moistening of the atmosphere increases extreme precipitation. Precipitation variability should also increase, producing larger wet-dry swings, but that is yet to b... https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adp0212
