Extreme Weather Impacts of Climate Change: An Attribution Perspective

Summary/Abstract

The article addresses the methodologies used to attribute extreme weather events to climate change, exploring five key areas: extreme temperatures, heavy rainfall, droughts, wildfires, and tropical cyclones. It underscores the need for advancements in data recording and attribution studies to enhance our understanding of climate change's role in these events. The review emphasizes the uneven geographic distribution of studies and the disproportionate focus on the global north, calling for more balanced research efforts that include vulnerable regions in the global south.
