The presenters discussed the various approaches to categorizing the data and impacts that might have on the resulting conclusions. Richard Seager of Columbia University agreed with Groisman by articulating that it is a robust prediction of state-of-the-art climate models that greenhouse gasinduced global warming will cause the wet regions of the planet (in the deep tropics and the mid to high latitudes)

of mean streamflow with respect to precipitation is much greater than that of peak streamflow, and that precipitation sensitivity decreases as flood return period increases. Hence, while flood peaks are quite likely to increase if precipitation increases, their fractional change relative to a given fractional change in the mean precipitation is less than the fractional increase in the mean flow.
