Across the world, climate events are getting more extreme. And while there’s little doubt that climate change is to blame, proving that fault for specific weather events hasn’t really been possible… until now.

An emerging field called extreme-event attribution is helping us measure and verify the relationship between the climate crisis and extreme weather. Not only does this have huge implications for predicting and modeling our planet’s future, but it could also help us better prepare for living in an increasingly extreme world.
When we talk about the impacts of the climate crisis, we’re really talking about distinguishing the influence of natural factors from anthropogenic factors on Earth’s climate cycle. Basically, this means teasing apart Earth’s natural climate cycles from human-caused climate change. A way to begin doing this is to examine the “fingerprints” we humans have left behind on Earth’s climate.
By matching both the observed and modeled patterns of Earth’s climate, scientists can positively identify the “fingerprints” associated with these changes. Following the tracks of these fingerprints has helped scientists link climate change with more general trends, like rising sea levels and global temperatures.

“Just as medical researchers can study how smoking cigarettes changes people’s risk of lung cancer by comparing data from smokers and nonsmokers, attribution scientists compare events on our planet with those on a hypothetical “Planet B,” one that is untouched by greenhouse gas emissions.”
Scientists Can Now Blame Individual Natural Disasters on Climate Change

“It was January 2003, and as Allen—a climate expert at the University of Oxford—monitored the rising waters from the safety of his house, a voice on the radio was telling him that it couldn’t be done. Sure, the flood was the type of event likely to be made more frequent by global warming, the representative of the United Kingdom’s Met Office said on the show. But ascertaining anything more concrete was out of reach.”

Oh! Dear earth .
You are more and more hurt maybe not coz of harsh conditions bt the people living in you are dragging and causing harm so on….
No
Climate change is not mad-made but a symptom Earth has reached the other side of its existence. Earth did not just pop up as it is but one that experienced growth. Anything that grows experiences ageing. Earth is a compounded matter subject to decay. Please talk to me to be enlightened about the matter.
In 1931, 3.7 million people died from natural disasters. In 2018, just 11,000 did.
Seriously is there even a need to prove it?
why are we only talking about the disasters? were not taking the fact that global warming is going to cause massive devastation. and then when it happens, people will start panic buying, and itll be total chaos.
The atmosphere getting infuriated at us more often especially this decade
Scientists Can Now Prove Climate Change Is Causing UnNatural Disasters.
Scientists Need To Explain Why Climate Change Is Now Irreversible.
Global Warming Is Stated As Being The Cause. It Is Not ! ! !
People Ordinary People Know That Climate Chaos Is Caused By In – Human Greed.
Capitalism Is The Biggest And Most Irresponsible Exploitation Of All Natural Resources.
Money Is The Root Of All Evil(s).
Mankind Has Developed Into Machine – Mankind aka Cyborgs.
AI Is The Death Knell For Humanity Because It Has Been Designed By Material Science.
So AI Replicates Human Thought. Human Thought Thinks In Terms Of The Most
Dangerous Species And The Top Of The Foodchain. There Is No Way Out.
Science &Technology + Profit = Total Degeneration + Destruction. Tragic But Truth.
Money Makes The World Go Round But You Need To Have Stable Natural Ground .
You can help by contributing. Active Climate Rescue Initiative wishes to fund a Computer Climate Model to validate that Move the Water! will have a large impact on reversing Global Warming.
.
Here is explanation page and link to donation page:
https://climate-rescue.org/2021/02/03/has-move-the-water-been-proven/
.
Here is YouTube video explaining #movethewater: https://youtu.be/bjHxkxRWAs0
.
Move the Water! will impact Global Warming. All aspects of Move the Water! are proven scientific fact and will work. The extent to the impact will vary with each location installed. These computer models are to look at SW USA installation.
So then this video isn't the proof just the probability of possible proof….. Click bait…
Lies, lies and more lies! The FACT is that there are LESS storms (as you would expect if you had studies thermodynamics like I have); LESS forest fires in USA (4.5 TIMES less cf.the 30s.); World grain harvests a record, now 2,650m tons cf.1950 of just 600m tons; record Russian salmon catches; record Polar bear numbers; 7 times more wildebeest in E.Africa; 20% of Sahara now cropping in 20 years; record phytoplankton – 10 TIMES 1960 levels. I CHALLENGE you – "Name ONE BAD thing PRESENTLY from GW." You cannot. Go get an education and some brains. (Chem Bsc in 2 years; speak 5 languages; given Permanent Commission by HM. Aerobatic pilot; built biplane. Have exam in Latin verse!) Wewe pumbafu basi!
During what period in Earth's history did the climate not change?
So… they can't actually tell then…. still lying … and showing fools who choose to live in flood plains in crisis is just evidence of this bullshit. AGW has little effect on climate.
much of what you say is speculation
Notice the lack of historical data showing any trends – the number of deaths from extreme climate events is falling not rising. No increase in extreme weather events like hurricanes.

Either way the planets temperature is increasing and carbon emissions still traps heat and we can still redirect this problem, even if its human or nature causing the temperature increase. We are looking for a solution, not more 10 year studies and crying over spilled milk. Its happening now, nature or human? Earths temperature is still increasing….. and species such as the coral are becoming endangered.. ?
Fun fact the world is gonna end on dec 27
What we want to know is what's causing climate change
Can’t believe that people actually believe that global warming doesn’t exist. Science is truth, you absolute buffoons.
why do people keep tossing aside the nuclear power option? its the safesrt and the cleanest of all practical options we have..
sorry…
You talk about CO2 levels rising since industrial revolution. I have heard that during some cold periods in the past, the ice cores have shown CO2 levels higher than ours? How is that possible? If that is true that seems to disprove the theory.
my plants say we need more co2 make my plants grow and win we have palm trees in Alaska they have grower there before us and i can move my 2 rvs and mt 5 trucks
