Climate change is delivering spiking temperatures that break more records. Now scientists are anticipating bigger jumps from one high to the next.

Heavy precipitation is on the rise in New York, Connecticut and neighboring states, increasing the likelihood of damaging flash floods.

As high temperatures break records around the U.S. and wildfires rip through the West, another climate-driven weather hazard -- extreme rainfall -- is pummeling the country's Northeast and scientists say it will get worse as the climate changes. That will bring more rain-induced flooding to a region of millions that isn't prepared.

Pushing the planet beyond its safe limits erodes food, energy and water security and raises the risk of disease and conflict, researchers say.
