Reduced exposure to extreme precipitation from 0.5 °C less warming in global land monsoon regions Reduced exposure to extreme precipitation from 0.5 °C less warming in global land monsoon regions, Published online: 08 August 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-05633-3 The populous global land monsoon region has been suffering from extreme precipitation. Here, the authors show that limiting global warming to 1.5 °C instead of 2 °C could reduce areal and population exposures to baseline once-in-20-year rainfall extremes by 25% (18–41%) and 36% (22–46%), respectively.
