Here we give an overview of the scientific developments of the past eight years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AR5 concluded that human influence on the climate system is \u201cclear.\u201d Today scientists say climate change is, without doubt, caused by us. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41558-020-00965-9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2021 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> concluded that humans have caused all of the warming observed since the preindustrial period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the last IPCC report, there has been an explosion of attribution studies finding that specific heatwaves, droughts, tropical cyclones and other extreme events were more likely or intense because of climate change. Recent studies have shown that extreme events such as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldweatherattribution.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/WWA-Prolonged-heat-Siberia-2020.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Siberian heat wave<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2020 would never have happened without humans pumping greenhouse gases into the air.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since AR5, attribution science has become more \u201cimpact-oriented\u201d, Sjoukje Philip, a climate scientist from the World Weather Attribution (WWA) group, told Climate Home News.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/subscribe\/\"><b>Want more climate news?\u00a0<\/b>Sign up to get updates straight to your inbox<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means more studies focusing on the societal impacts of extreme weather events, such as the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/iopscience.iop.org\/article\/10.1088\/1748-9326\/11\/7\/074006\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2016 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which found that 506 of the 753 fatalities during the Paris heatwave in 2003 were a result of climate change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe wanted to see how much human-induced climate change contributed to mortality,\u201d Dann Mitchell, one of the study\u2019s authors and professor of climate change at Bristol University, told Climate Home News. \u201cSince the last IPCC report models have become more advanced and we have better ways of collecting climate and health data,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The increase in attribution studies is due to more precise climate models and peer-reviewed methods which allow scientists to rapidly and accurately analyse extreme events, according to Philip. This also helps with communication. \u201cIf you can do the attribution one week after the event, it\u2019s still news,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scientists are now able to carry out attribution studies within a few days of an event occurring.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases they can do the analysis while the event is still going on. Scientists from the WWA group published a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldweatherattribution.org\/attribution-of-the-2018-heat-in-northern-europe\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study in 2018<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> showing that climate change made Europe\u2019s heatwave twice as likely, while it was ongoing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44581 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/files\/2021\/08\/attribution-timeline.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"492\" height=\"893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.climatechangenews.com\/files\/2021\/08\/06102654\/attribution-timeline.jpg 492w, https:\/\/cdn.climatechangenews.com\/files\/2021\/08\/06102654\/attribution-timeline-93x168.jpg 93w, https:\/\/cdn.climatechangenews.com\/files\/2021\/08\/06102654\/attribution-timeline-186x337.jpg 186w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Half of all attribution studies focus on heatwaves, according to Mitchell. Heatwaves are relatively easy to attribute because they are \u201cvery certain and the first response to climate change\u201d and cover a large area, which makes it easier for climate models to pick up, said Mitchell. Most of the rest look at e<\/span>xtremes of rainfall leading to drought or floods.<\/p>\n<p>Only a handful have looked at hurricanes, which are hard to model due to their complexity and limited historical data. They reached relatively weak conclusions about the scale of human influence.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That could change as new high-resolution models are being developed, said Sarah Teuling-Kew, a climate scientist at WWA. \u201cMethods for large-scale precipitation and temperature extremes are more robust &#8211; they have been put through the tests,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The majority of attribution studies focus on events in Europe and North America. This is because these regions have the most reliable climate data available, according to Philip. \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever done a heatwave attribution study over Africa because we never hear about it,\u201d she said, adding that WWA scientists are collaborating with African scientists and sharing knowledge to improve modelling of the continent.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Attribution science, which quantifies the influence of human activity on specific heatwaves, droughts and floods, has developed
