While eastern US states are still reeling from the devastation left by Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton, which is looking to be even *more* powerful, is quickly approaching. Our episode w/ Dr. Fredi Otto breaks down how climate change is impacting the risk of extreme weather.

I am sharing the findings of a rapid attribution analysis, where I had the opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers to assess how human-induced climate change has increased the likelihood & intensity of extreme rainfall, causing devastation in Nepal in late Sept. 1/3

Rapid urbanisation and climate change key drivers of dramatic flood impacts in Nepal, new analysis by World Weather Attribution reveals. The researchers found that heavy rainfall has become around 10% more intense and 70% more likely due to a warming climate. ow.ly/uQ0R50TNEfS

A study by World Weather Attribution on the Nepal floods found: ● Climate change has made extreme three-day downpours in Nepal about 10% more intense. ● Bursts of rainfall will become even heavier ● Reducing development in flood-prone areas. #climatekiseema

The world’s 10 deadliest climate disasters of the past two decades killed more than half a million people, and a new study by World Weather Attribution found global warming fingerprints on all of them, from cyclones and hurricanes, to heatwaves, droughts and floods. insideclimatenews.org/news/31102024/…

The death toll from this week’s devastating floods in south-east Spain has now risen to over 200. Human-induced #ClimateChange doubled the likelihood of the heavy rainfall in the region and made it more intense, as Dr Dr Friederike Otto from World Weather Attribution at Imperial College London explains.
