“It’s not necessarily that climate change created this storm — it could have happened independent of all the extra carbon that humanity has pumped into the atmosphere — but there are some clear trends making rainfall worse.”

Is climate heating to blame for Australia’s wild weather?
“Some existing urban drainage infrastructure may be ‘under-engineered’ to withstand the increase in rain rates expected with continued atmospheric warming.”

#fossilfuels companies that extracted oil, coal and gas that have powered our planet for decades... By 2013... just 90 companies contributed 2/3rds of the world’s industrial emissions.
Richard Heede could even pinpoint the share of those emissions for which companies existing today are responsible.

#IPCC [4] on #AttributionScience:
"concerns the identification of causes for changes in characteristics of the #climate system (e.g., trends, single #ExtremeEvents)"
"new approaches have been developed to answer the question of whether, and to what extent, external drivers have altered the #probability and intensity of an individual extreme event [... T]he attribution of #ExtremeWeather events has emerged as a growing field of climate research with an increasing body of literature"

On the birdsite Erich Fischer highlights an important graph from the new #IPCC report.
"Warming entirely man-made
Human influence not only contributed to warming since 1850-1900 but caused *all* of it, according to the best quantitative estimate. The warming would have been even stronger, had it not been partly cancelled by the cooling aerosol emissions."
* The aerosol cooling is also a human influence and mostly the same one: burning fossil fuels.
