ROME, Italy- Deadly floods that left large swathes of northeast Italy under water this month were caused by a "one-in-200-year" weather event, with climate change playing a limited role, experts said Wednesday.
The group -- whose goal is to demonstrate reliable links between global heating and certain weather phenomena -- said its models suggest such events, in this region at this time of year, are not becoming more frequent or intense. But the group said this was offset by a decrease in the number of low-pressure systems in the central Mediterranean, linked to climate change, which mean less heavy rain.
He emphasised that it was not that climate change had no role, but the relationship went beyond the organisation's statistical analyses.
