WASHINGTON (AP) -- The world -- especially the Western United States, the Mediterranean region and Brazil -- will likely suffer more extended droughts, heavy rainfalls and longer heat waves over the next century because of global warming, a new study forecasts.
But the prediction of a future of nasty extreme weather also includes fewer freezes and a longer growing season.
In a preview of a major international report on climate change that comes out next year, a study out of the National Center for Atmospheric Research details what nine of the world's top computer models predict for the lurching of climate at its most extreme.
"It's going to be a wild ride, especially for specific regions," said study lead author Claudia Tebaldi, a scientist at the federally funded academic research center.

Hey, if it's going to be a "wild ride", we should "pull out" of the "War on Global Warming", immediately.
After all, like the Democrats say about the "War on Terror" : the more we fight "Global Warming"... the more "Global Warming" we will create.
Right?
Isn't this what they said at the beginning of this hurricane season? And how many did we have? And how many broadcasts have proclaimed this fact? I like computers, but this model business must be the area to get into if I want to make big money.

We're all gonna die. You peons first. (bite my lip like I care).
Give me a break! They can't even tell me if it'll rain tomorrow.
You have a fertile imagination...
Rebuttal: "What caused it to be so warm 10,000 years ago?"
I was up in northern Navajo County in Arizona a couple days ago. The had just been clobbered by one heck of a sectarian rainstorm. The roads were a quagmire. The mud was deep too.
Great point! We have to cut and run from the War on Global Warming.
But, but... Al Gore said, "All the science is in. The debate is over." I heard him on Letterman.
If all the science is in, then why is anybody still studying it? And why is Al Gore still debating it? He should "cut-and-run"--- to save some vestige of dignity.
"Ain't that weird?"
Yeah, it is called "LibSpeak," whereby they consider all of us (the great "unwashed" and "uninformed") not to be able to discern their "scholarly" disertations--albeit, completely feckless perceptions--regardless of their contradictory assertions, as "they" are superiorly advanced in knowledge and comprehension as compared to us mere mortals.
Somewhat akin to their advancing a position of intending to "lower our taxes while at the same time, increasing expenditures."
While most of us "common folk" may not have the lettered accreditation these erudite scholars have following their names (BS, MS or PHD's--which simply means, Bullshit; More of the Same, and Piled Higher and Deeper) we do retain something which is sorely lacking in the stratosphere of the Intelligentsia: Plain Ol Common Sense!!!
That's simple: "We will all perish as a result of having been too ignorant for having failed to notice our impending extinction did not occur as predicted and ordained."
