Summary
The document explains 'extreme event attribution'—the scientific process of determining how climate change affects the likelihood and intensity of specific weather events. It provides a framework for journalists to avoid common reporting errors, such as ignoring climate change or attributing an event to it without evidence. The guide details the specific influence of global warming on heatwaves, floods, tropical cyclones, heavy snowfall, droughts, and wildfires, noting that while some links (like heatwaves) are globally certain, others (like droughts and floods) vary by region and are influenced by socio-economic vulnerabilities.
Key insights
- Extreme event attribution uses climate models to compare the current world with a hypothetical 'pre-industrial' world without human-induced emissions to calculate how much more likely or intense an event has become.
- Every heatwave globally is now more intense and more likely to occur due to human-induced climate change, with the strongest effects seen in the most extreme temperatures.
- Heavy rainfall is more common and intense across most of the world due to climate change, particularly in Europe, most of Asia, central and eastern North America, and parts of South America, Africa, and Australia.
- While the total number of tropical cyclones annually does not change globally, climate change increases the frequency of the most intense and destructive storms and increases their rainfall and storm surges.
- Extreme cold events are generally less likely and less intense globally due to climate change, although heavy snowfall may have increased in intensity in East and North Asia, North America, and Greenland.
- Droughts are becoming more common and severe in specific regions, including Europe, the Mediterranean, South Africa, Central and East Asia, Southern Australia, and Western North America.
- The probability and total area of wildfires are increasing in Southern Europe, Northern Eurasia, the Americas, and Australia, driven by a combination of heat, drought, and wind.
- Weather events only become disasters when they interact with social vulnerabilities, such as poor water management, land use (deforestation, urbanization), and economic conditions.
