Description

Perhaps, the information could be used as evidence in trials against the contributors of climate change. I highly recommend this book which is both easy to read (because it is well written) and hard to read (because of what we learn).

Friederike Otto, this gripping book reveals the revolutionary science that definitively links extreme weather events—including deadly heat waves, forest fires, floods, and hurricanes—to climate change. Scientific evidence of the importance of different drivers is essential to avoid playing blame games and allows for a well-informed debate about addressing risk. Attribution science is a revolutionary method pioneered by Otto, that is able to link heatwaves, droughts and hurricanes to human-induced global warming. From a leading scientist, this gripping nonfiction book explains how recent weather disasters—including heat waves, massive forest fires, and hurricanes—can be definitively linked to climate change, through the revolutionary method of World Weather Attribution.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. The structure of the book, built around a hurricane in Texas, is not always an asset, but it does create a sort of curiosity. If flooding becomes more popular, permits for construction in what were once infrequent flood plains need to be re-evaluated.

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. Stattdessen bieten einerseits wohldosierte Referenzen genug Möglichkeiten noch selbst nachzulesen und/oder in die Tiefe zu gehen, andererseits wurden Unsicherheiten und komplizierte Sachlagen ganz transparent benannt und beschrieben.

It’s like a sponge; the larger it is, the more water it can soak up—and when you squeeze it, it releases all this water. Literary Hub 'This fascinating book takes us on a voyage across the cutting edge of climate science that irrevocably alters our perspective of the world in which we live and the future it holds. We have known that this is happening since 1896, when Svante Arrhenius discovered the connection between global warming and greenhouse gases.
