World climate scientist shows why extreme weather changes are taking place

Climate change has long been forecast to increase extreme weather incidents, and scientists are now convinced that these predictions are coming and becoming real. Scientists say global warming has contributed to heated temperatures in northern Europe for weeks.

The hot issue became more than twice as likely by climate change, a new analysis was found, demonstrating a link of “without understanding”.

The extreme weather has been hit across Europe, from the Arctic Circle to Greece, and worldwide, from North America to Japan. This is the face of climate change,” said Prof Michael Mann, at the University of Penn State, and one of the most remarkable climate scientists in the world. We literally wouldn't have seen these extremes in the absence of climate change”.

“Climate change applications are no longer delicate,” he told Guardian. “We're seeing them play in real time and what's happening this summer is a perfect example for this”.

“We are seeing our true predictions,” he said. “As a scientist who's soothing, but as a citizen of planet Earth, it's very disturbing to see how it means that we haven't taken the necessary steps”.

Hot heat did more than double the events from climate change, scientists say.

The rapid scientific assessment of the heat wave of Northern Europe was made by Geert Jan van Oldenborgh, at the Royal Dutch Institute of Meteorology and also by colleagues at the World Weather Attribution (WWA) consortium. “We can see fingerprints of climate change at local extremes”, he said.

The current heat current is caused by an extraordinary drag from the wind of the wind, which usually crosses the Atlantic cold weather on the continent. This has left the hot, dry air in the country for two months much longer than usual. The loss of the northern hemisphere River is increasingly linked to global warming, especially the rapid warming of the Arctic and the loss of sea ice.

Prof Mann said the question of whether climate change “causes” specific events is the wrong question: “The relevant question is: Is climate change affecting these events and making them more extreme? ”

Mann points out that the link between tobacco and lung cancer is a statistics that does not prove that every cancer has been caused by smoking, but epidemiologists know that heavy smoking increases the risk. This is enough to say that for all practical purposes there is a cause between smoking and lung cancer, and it is the same as climate change”, Mann said.

It is not too late to make significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, Mann said, because progressive effects are getting worse as global warming increases.
