Extreme Weather: The Connection to Climate Change
As our climate continues to warm, we are witnessing a disturbing trend of more frequent and intense weather events both in the U.S. and globally. Thanks to a rapidly evolving scientific field known as event attribution, we now have the ability to assess how climate change elevates the risk of specific extreme events.
What We Know
With rising temperatures, various weather extremes are becoming more pronounced.
It's essential to recognize that many factors contribute to any single extreme weather event.
Given these complexities, can we accurately gauge climate change’s impact on individual extreme weather incidents?
