"In general, each degree C of
global temperature increase
can be expected to produce:
• 5-10% changes in precipitation
across many regions
• 3-10% increases in the amount
of rain falling during the heaviest
precipitation events
• 5-10% changes in streamflow
across many river basins
• 15% decreases in the annually
averaged extent of sea ice across
the Arctic Ocean, with 25%
decreases in the yearly minimum
extent in September
• 5-15% reductions in the yields
of crops as currently grown
• 200-400% increases in the area
burned by wildfire in parts of the
western United States
However, many other impacts
remain difficult to quantify,
in part because they depend
on additional factors besides
climate change. For exam-
ple, changes in the risk of flood
damage depend not only on
precipitation but also on urban-
ization and other changes in
land cover. In addition, some
phenomena beyond the next few
centuries—such as the potential
large-scale release of methane
from deep-sea sediments—
could act as amplifiers that would
greatly increase the size and dura-
tion of human impact on climate."
