Less prepared to meet natural disasters, the developing world will be hardest hit. However, there are speculations about regional gains. The report 'Climate Change and Extreme Weather Events' concludes that as concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continue to rise, it is likely that there will be an increase in the intensity of rainstorms, river floods, droughts, and other extreme weather events. While few places in the world will be spared from climatic disruptions, the developing countries, with less infrastructure to meet the human and ecological demands these disasters create, will see much of the extreme weather patterns. Devastation from hurricanes could increase.
Climate change brings about a global redistribution of the costs and benefits of the weather.
We should have no doubt that the costs will be much greater than the benefits. Some zones will gain in precipitation, while other will lose. Studies have the clearest conclusions when it comes to climate change in the temperate and cold climatic zones, as these are more marginal climates and a temperature increase of one degree would have greater relative importance - and there have been more studies made. In tropical climates, the main effect is believed to be a weather with more extremes, meaning more natural disasters. However, there are speculations that some desert zones may benefit.
