You know the connection between increasing urbanisation and higher average temperatures

What do you know about climate change?

Statement: Climate change leads to more extreme periods of drought

1. True
2. Not true

Statement: Climate change will lead to more rain on average in the Netherlands

1. True
2. Not true

How can this happen?

The amount of rain increases, but it falls over a shorter period of time

Warmer air can hold more water vapour (waterdamp). more water in the air means more rain at the place where it falls

Urbanisation in the Netherlands is increasing. What does this mean for the climate in the Netherlands?
