Angry Weather: Heat Waves, Floods, Storms, and the New Science of Climate Change (World Weather Attribution)

Product Information

We have observed rising global temperatures over the course of the 20th century, and the science advisory committee of Lyndon Johnson’s presidency warned of global warming in 1965. Ich find's gut, dass mal jemand außerhalb der Genderliteratur konsequent das Gendersternchen benutzt! Otto is also a co-investigator on the international project World Weather Attribution, which assesses the human influence on extreme weather and has been profiled in the New York Times, Nature, and others. We are therefore changing when and where areas of high and low pressure develop and where they go, when and where it rains, the strength of the wind, the season in which the wind blows, and the direction from which it comes.

For centuries, we have experienced weather in a stable climate—but with global warming, some of the familiar patterns of rainfall, drought, and storms are being disrupted. Sandra Juto is also on my list, I admire how she seamlessly puts together the things she loves/creates so cohesively, her creative endeavors become an inspiring lifestyle.Using this as a basis for attribution, Otto hopes to show that his team can provide nations how to direct resources to prepare for the future. Das war zwar interessant, der wirklich spannende Part - wie Attributionswissenschaft aber helfen kann, Extremwetterereignisse dem Klimawandel zu zuordnen und dies dann eben auch vor Gericht zu nutzen, um z. Watch a video of Fredi Otto explaining how attribution science provides the evidence to show how climate change affects extreme weather events. She details how they isolated the variable they would look at, which in this case was rainfall amounts.

They threaten decades of development gains, and they pose a clear and present danger to the social and economic welfare of communities and countries around the world. The quantity and intensity of rain is only increasing as a global average; some places will get more rain, others less. The structure of the book, built around a hurricane in Texas, is not always an asset, but it does create a sort of curiosity.In other words, we need to make the connection between cause and effect, between where people live and what they are experiencing right now. Attribution science is a revolutionary method pioneered by Otto, that is able to link heatwaves, droughts and hurricanes to human-induced global warming. Spätestens seit Gigerenzer wissen wir doch, dass man sehr aufpassen muss, wenn man über Wahrscheinlichkeiten redet und nicht missverstanden werden will.
