Today, Carbon Brief has published the latest, and most comprehensive, update to our interactive map of extreme weather attribution. The redesigned map now includes almost 750 extreme events and trends from more than 600 studies. https://lnkd.in/e4jXme5j Such is the sheer quantity of attribution studies now, the new map gives a regional view: Size of the circles = the number of extremes studied Colour = the attribution finding: more (red) or less (blue) severe/likely, no influence (yellow) or inconclusive (grey) Across all the extremes in the map, 74% were made more likely or severe because of climate change, while 9% were made less likely or severe. The remaining cases are cases where scientists either identified no human influence (10%) or where the findings were inconclusive (7%). The analysis and article are by Ayesha Tandon and me, while the amazing design and all the under-the-bonnet cleverness are by Tom Pearson, Tom Prater and Kerry Cleaver. Oh, and the map and its underlying database are covered in today's edition of the Guardian: https://lnkd.in/etMQK2Qt
