NEW STUDY: #Climatechange & high vulnerability worsened damage in Northeast #Brazil floods "Our findings underline the importance of prioritising adaptation of vulnerable communities to climate extremes", says lead author Mariam Zachariah wxrisk_sprectum 👉ow.ly/U3SL50JOEO0


One of the most vulnerable communities in Brazil was hit by devastating rains in May/June - climate change made them worse - new wxrisk_sprectum study - worldweatherattribution.org/climate-change…


It is hot in Europe & will potentially be extremely hot. These temperatures would have been lower if it wasn't for our burning of fossil fuels. This also means fewer people would have died. Heatwaves are by far the deadliest extremes in Europe (this includes the UK!)wxrisk_sprectum


40C in London in July 2022 would have been 36C without human-caused climate change - new rapid wxrisk_sprectum study highlights huge role of climate change in deadly heat. worldweatherattribution.org/without-human-…


New wxrisk_sprectum study: Climate change exacerbated extreme rainfall responsible for devastating Pakistan floods but historically rooted vulnerability and inequality also play a crucial role. worldweatherattribution.org/climate-change…


Dr Friederike Otto wxrisk_sprectum Dr Friederike Otto talks at length about the wxrisk_sprectum analysis of the devastating Pakistan floods on BBC Science in Action this week. As ever, the story is more complex and nuanced that first meets the eye, but the implications for future climate remain alarming. bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

The first formal event attribution of the Kerala Floods of 2018, led by Manish Dhasmana, supported by Mariam Zachariah. We highlight the nuances of and difficulty in attributing extreme hydrological events to climate change. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

Heat in Southern Europe 👇 & North America impossible without human-induced climate change - new World Weather Attribution study. Totally unsurprising but important result. This is what climate change looks & feels. We need to adapt, we need to stop making it worse. worldweatherattribution.org/extreme-heat-i…
