Summary/Abstract
This peer-reviewed study uses statistical methods to test the effect of anthropogenic climate change on global temperature and precipitation extremes. The results show that climate change has increased extreme temperature over the majority of the surveyed regions, especially in the tropics. No link between climate change and precipitation extremes from 1901-2020 was found. However, under a high-emissions future scenario, climate change is expected to substantially amplify the concurrence, strength, intensity, and spatial extent of both temperature and precipitation. The results also indicate that the intensity of the impact on both precipitation and temperature is highly dependent on the location of the region tested.
