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

Product Information

the forensic scientists of climate change; if you like CSI, you’ll be equally enthralled with the skill and speed these folks exhibit. No one will ever make insurance not boring, but bless Otto for putting it near the end of the book, because it was nonetheless an interesting look at how finances could help alleviate damage.

And yet pressure and temperature also differ on a smaller scale: air heats up faster over land than it does over water, and faster over flat terrain than over mountains. Climate change also made the weather conditions leading to the fires overall at least 30% more likely, which means that without climate change the devastation these fires wreaked would have been significantly less severe. Angry Weather tells the compelling, day-by-day story of the World Weather Attribution unit-a team of scientists that studies extreme weather events while they're happening-and their race to track the connection between the hurricane and climate change.While the global elite was busy ignoring or actively denying human-caused climate change, the problem worsened and devastating weather events proved the science to be correct. We climate scientists refer to the changes in weather that follow these laws as the “thermodynamic effect. Ich weiß gar nicht, wo anfangen: Ich weiß immer noch nicht, was genau "attribution science" macht, außer irgendwie Wahrscheinlichkeiten mittels Modellen zu ermitteln und daraus kausale Schlüsse zu ziehen.

The structure of the book, built around a hurricane in Texas, is not always an asset, but it does create a sort of curiosity. For a long time, it has not been possible to make the (arguably) crucial link between man-made climate change to individual weather and climate-related events with confidence, but this has changed more recently. In 2018, Fredi became one of the international climate scientists writing the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) The Scientific Basis, which was published in August 2021, she is also an author on the IPCC's final report of the sixth assessment cycle, the Synthesis Report which was published in March 2023. Das Problem sind nicht diejenigen, die nichts vom anthropogenen Klimawandel wissen oder ihn leugnen, sondern diejenigen – die überwiegende Mehrheit! Unlike water vapor, which leaves the atmosphere a few days after entering it in the form of rain, carbon dioxide sticks around for hundreds of years.I started making jewellery more than 10 years ago but it wasn’t until 2010 when I launched my first collection and started selling my jewellery online. We have known that this is happening since 1896, when Svante Arrhenius discovered the connection between global warming and greenhouse gases. Most countries in the world have some sort of weather station network measuring temperature, rainfall, and air pressure every day. In Harvey’s case, this was an event that would occur every 9,000 years under historic conditions, but three times more probable due to climate change. Fredi is the author of the popular science book " Angry Weather" and her work has been featured extensively in global media including the FT, Economist, Times of India, the Sun, Wall Street Journal, Telegraph, Guardian, New York Times, Washington Post, Daily Mail, Die Zeit, Der Spiegel, BBC, and CNN.
