Assigning Historic Responsibility for Extreme Weather Events

Published:November 2017

Author(s):Friederike E. L. Otto, Ragnhild B. Skeie, Jan S. Fuglestvedt, Terje Berntsen, Myles R. Allen

Publisher:Nature Climate Change

Recent scientific advances make it possible to assign extreme events to human-induced climate change and historical emissions. These developments allow losses and damage associated with such events to be assigned country-level responsibility.Read More →

World Meteorological Organization Greenhouse Gas Bulletin

Published:October 2017

Assessing Climate Change Impacts on Extreme Weather Events: The Case for an Alternative (Bayesian) Approach

Published:August 2017

Author(s):Michael E. Mann, Elisabeth A. Lloyd, Naomi Oreskes

Publisher:Climatic Change

This study demonstrates that a Bayesian approach to detecting and attributing climate change impacts on extreme weather events is preferable both empirically and ethically, as it will yield more accurate forecasts and will better serve society. Read More →
