EXTREME WEATHER AND CLIMATE CHANGE
“Extreme weather attribution” (how's that for a handle) is a growing field of science that explores the link between climate change and weather - including extreme weather events. From heatwaves and wildfires to flooding and storms, it’s now possible to attribute certain weather events to climate change with some confidence - with one analysis suggesting 71% of all studied extreme weather events were made more likely by climate change.
The link below is a brief produced by Clean Energy Canada - a clean energy think tank at the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue at Simon Fraser University. The brief summarizes some of the latest studies around the implications of extreme weather in Canada and the world.
