In 2014, 3 scientists in a San Francisco Starbucks talked about linking disasters to climate change as they occurred. Their work broke with centuries of science orthodoxy, changed the way we talk about weather and on Monday was embraced by the IPCC politico.eu/article/friede…

Rapid attribution of extreme weather events is at the cutting edge of climate science. But we don't need more analysis to know we need to act, quickly; we know the faster we cut our emissions, the better off we’ll all be.

New wxrisk_sprectum study: heavy rainfall causing severed floods in Western Europe this summer made a lot more likely by climate change. worldweatherattribution.org/heavy-rainfall…

Geert Jan passed away on October 12, 2021. We mourn the loss of our friend and colleague, we celebrate his life in this, his final scientific paper. It is on extreme heat - climate change's big, silent killer. Title "We can do better" So, let's! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.102…

Thank you Dr Friederike Otto for stressing that disasters are rarely “natural”. Natural hazards become #disasters due to vulnerability and exposure, often caused by socially created risks. Where we live, how we live, and preparing across all layers of society matters! #EuCivPro EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺

It is hot in Europe & will potentially be extremely hot. These temperatures would have been lower if it wasn't for our burning of fossil fuels. This also means fewer people would have died. Heatwaves are by far the deadliest extremes in Europe (this includes the UK!)wxrisk_sprectum

40C in London in July 2022 would have been 36C without human-caused climate change - new rapid wxrisk_sprectum study highlights huge role of climate change in deadly heat. worldweatherattribution.org/without-human-…

Marine researchers in #Kiel discuss causes and mechanisms of diseases and (self)regulation of ecosystems in the oceans ⬇️ Fascinating insights, 🤩 great being part of it. #OceanHealth2022 Universität Kiel CAU 🎓 GEOMAR_en m.faz.net/agenturmeldung…

The consequences of the climate crisis in a nutshell by Johan Rockström:

Devastating drought in Horn of Africa would not have been a drought if it wasn't for climate change - striking result in our new World Weather Attribution study worldweatherattribution.org/human-induced-…

Climate change is a total gamechanger for heatwaves. This animation breaks down our recent study on the late April heatwave that impacted Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and Algeria, highlighting how much hotter and more likely climate change made the event.

“Instead of seeing the ocean as a ‘solution’ for climate change, we need to see it as a test of a new attitude to our planet, one that doesn’t treat it as a combination of universal rubbish bin and exploitable resource.” — Helen Czerski theguardian.com/environment/20…

Heute ist ein Tag hierfür. Gruß geht raus an alle, die meinten, der Klimaschutz könne noch 20 Jahre warten oder sei gleich ganz überflüssig. Die Physik gilt auch für jene, die sie nicht verstehen.
