#ClimateAttribution map

"Across all these cases, 74% were made more likely or severe because of #ClimateChange. This includes multiple cases where scientists found that an extreme was virtually impossible without human influence on global temperatures."

Another recent advance is “impact #attribution”, which quantifies the social, economic and/or ecological impacts arising from the influence of climate change on extreme weather."

Mapped: How climate change affects extreme weather around the world - Carbon Brief

Attribution studies calculate whether, and by how much, climate change affected the intensity, frequency or impact of extremes – Carbon Brief has mapped every published study on how climate change has influenced extreme weather.

"The deadly heatwave that scorched large swaths of Mexico, Central America and the southern US in May and June was made 35 times more likely due to human-induced global heating, according to research by leading climate scientists from World Weather Attribution."

B.C. coal mining company, Conuma Resources, fined for... 400+ violations. Repeatedly failed to follow environmental protection rules, over several years, including:

☠️ failure to monitor waste water flowing into 🐟 fish-bearing streams

☣️ failure to properly set up operations to prevent excessive amounts of dust & discharge from entering the surrounding air

Total penalties: CAD$45,850 to be paid within 30 days of receipt.

⚠️ Slap on the wrist?

Interesting - Davide Faranda is doing #ClimateAttribution in a very different way to #WorldWeatherAttributionProject - they look only at dynamical patterns in the Reanalysis and don't run climate models.
Would be fascinating to see how the two different techniques compare.

#ClimateDiary Ok i am not a #ClimateAttribution scientist but i am going to go out on a limb here: climate change comes into this unprecedented flooding and we should all talk about it in these terms as we will only get more travel chaos. #Floods #Eurostar #ClimateEmergency
