World Weather Attribution
When an extreme weather event occurs, people often ask: is climate change to blame? For decades, climate scientists have answered that question in general terms – that as the planet warms, we can expect many of these weather events to become more frequent and extreme. World Weather Attribution (WWA) scientists quantify how climate change influences the intensity and likelihood of an extreme weather event. They often do this using weather data and computer modelling, and often immediately in the aftermath of the extreme event.
