Video: How Did Climate Change Affect that Extreme Weather Event?
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has released a short animated video based on the 2016 report,
Attribution of Extreme Weather Events in the Context of Climate Change. Extreme weather is on the rise. While climate change is one factor involved, teasing out its role in any particular extreme weather event can help us assess risks and better plan for the future. This video uses an analogy to illustrate the variables that go into attributing weather events to climate change. TRB is part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
