Human activity linked to heavier rainfall James Randerson, science correspondent Tuesday July 24, 2007 <http://www.guardian.co.uk>The Guardian Greenhouse gas emissions from human activity are causing global shifts in rainfall patterns and contributing to wetter weather over the UK, climate scientists say today. Their study is the first to find a "human fingerprint" in the rainfall changes which have been detected in a belt of the northern hemisphere stretching from the Mediterranean to the UK to Norway. <snip> This concerns a study done by the Hadley Centre of the UK Met Office and others that is published in the latest issue of Nature.
