Attribution of Weather and Climate-Related Extreme Events
Unusual or extreme weather and climate-related events are of great public concern and interest, yet there are often conflicting messages from scientists about whether such events can be linked to climate change. There is clear evidence that climate has changed as a result of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, and that across the globe some aspects of extremes have changed as a result. But this does not imply that the probability of occurrence (or, given a fixed damage, risk) of a specific type of recently observed weather or climate event has changed significantly as a result of human in ...
High-level Taskforce towards the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS). Climate knowledge for action : a global framework for climate services and empowering the most vulnerable
Climate is a critical factor in the lives and livelihoods of all people and in development. This report proposes how a global system for the provision of climate services can be set up over the next few years that will protect the jobs and homes of vulnerable people.
To develop a global framework for climate services, it will be essential to build upon many of the capabilities and shared responsibilities which are already in place today. The paper provides the following conclusions:
- efforts to provide effective climate services globally will only be successful if capacity is s ...
Climate for you
Through a wide variety of proxy records, including ice cores, tree rings, sediments, corals, rocks and fossils, among others, the modern science of paleoclimatology reveals that climate variability and change were present on our planet long before our ancestors. More recently, there are several references in our recorded history to unusual periods in some parts of the world, such as the Medieval Climatic Anomaly and the subsequent Little Ice Age, as well as exceptional events like the “year without a summer” of 1816, attributed to the colossal 1815 Mount Tambora eruption.
