1) Modeling experiments reproduce
history of global temperatures
remarkably well.
2) Natural forcings (e.g. volcanic eruptions and variations in solar radiation) alone cannot explain the rapid rise in temperature at the end
of the 20th century.

Summary of Flooding Impacts
Rain Dominant Basins:Possible increases in flooding due to increased precipitation intensity, but no significant change from warming alone.
Mixed Rain and Snow Basins Along the Coast:Strong increases due to warming and increased precipitation intensity (both effects increase flood risk)
Inland Snowmelt Dominant Basins:Relatively small overall changes because effects of warming (decreased risks) and increased precipitation intensity (increased risks) are in the opposite directions.

Loss of glacial mass may maintain or even increase summer flow in the short term but
is expected to decrease summer flow in the long term.

Sediment Transport
![Page 34: Alan F. Hamlet JISAO/CSES Climate Impacts Group Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/568134f5550346895d9c3d2c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Sediment Impact Pathways:
Increasing precipitation intensity may increase the severity of extreme events (e.g. mud slides, inundation of public access areas, etc.)
Loss of glaciers may mobilize large “reservoirs” of sediment stored beneath them.
Loss of snowpack may reduce the “armoring” effect of the snowpack in moderate elevation areas, leading to increased land slide risk and increased sediment loadings. (conversion of moderate elevation areas from avalanche risk to land slide risk).
Changes in forest disturbance patterns, particularly fire, may be important driver of impacts.

•Anticipate changes. Accept that the future climate will be substantially different than the past.
•Use scenario based planning over long time scales to evaluate options rather than the historical record.
•Expect surprises and plan for flexibility and robustness in the face of uncertain changes rather than counting on one approach.
•Plan for the long haul. Where possible, make adaptive responses and agreements “self tending” to avoid repetitive costs of intervention as impacts increase over time.
Approaches to Adaptation and Planning
