A statistically predictive model for future monsoon failure in India
The Indian monsoon is likely to fail more often in the next 200 years, warns this new study by Jacob Schewe and Anders Levermann published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. Says that the monsoon rains could collapse about every fifth year between 2150 and 2200 with continued global warming.

A mechanism for land–ocean contrasts in global monsoon trends in a warming climate
A central paradox of the global monsoon record involves reported decreases in rainfall over land during an era in which the global hydrologic cycle is both expected and observed to intensify. It is within
