Deadly floods in hyper-arid Dubai & Oman made more intense by climate change, El Nino and rapid urbanisation - new World Weather Attribution study

Sometimes I think about how Deepwater Horizon was a huge environmental disaster that killed 11 people and cost BP more than $65 billion — but if that oil had been captured, sold, and used, it would be worse for the environment, killed more people, and BP would have made money.

The recent deadly heatwave in the Sahel and West Africa with temperatures above 45°C would not have been possible without human-caused climate change 📈

Our study highlights the urgent need for heat planning and preparedness across the region.

Without our continued burning of fossil fuels, extreme heat in Sahel that killed hundreds ay the end of Ramadan would not have happened. New World Weather Attribution study worldweatherattribution.org/extreme-sahel-…

Extreme heat in West Africa much hotter than it used to be because of our burning of fossil fuels. Still there's basically no warning or research on the impacts and risks associated with heat such deadly heat. New World Weather Attribution study: worldweatherattribution.org/dangerous-humi…

Heavy rain caused devastating floods due to deforestation, mining, conflict and large inequality and a big trend in more heavy rainfall - complex new World Weather Attribution finds. More research needed to quantify role of climate change. worldweatherattribution.org/reducing-vulne…

Storm Babet hit a large region around the North Sea in October 2023, causing huge destruction. A new World Weather Attribution study looks at how climate change worsened the affects on Cork in Ireland & how a low tide prevented disaster. One for the weather nerds. worldweatherattribution.org/climate-change…

Risk of deadly wildfires like the one in Valparaiso is increasing, despite a well-know cooling at the coast of Chile, due to land use and will get worse with future warming. New World Weather Attribution study - worldweatherattribution.org/despite-known-…

War (payed for by fossil fuels) & climate change (caused by burning fossil fuels) made impacts of Storm Bettina that hit Black sea in November more severe, particularly for Ukraine. New World Weather Attribution study. worldweatherattribution.org/climate-change…

Good morning Baltimore! #AMS

In late November, Storm Bettina brought heavy snow, rain and hurricane-force winds to countries bordering the Black Sea.

Our latest study investigating the influence of climate change on the wind and preciptation will be published at 12.01amET/ 7.01amEET tomorrow.

Climate change, not the strong El Nino is the real game changer in driving the exceptional drought in Amazon river basin - home of the the largest rainforest in the world. New & worrying World Weather Attribution study worldweatherattribution.org/climate-change…
