#IPCC [4] on #AttributionScience:

"concerns the identification of causes for changes in characteristics of the #climate system (e.g., trends, single #ExtremeEvents)"

"new approaches have been developed to answer the question of whether, and to what extent, external drivers have altered the #probability and intensity of an individual extreme event [... T]he attribution of #ExtremeWeather events has emerged as a growing field of climate research with an increasing body of literature"

1/ #ClimateJustice & the Loss and Damage Fund: How can Attribution Science help? 🌏

At #COP27, participating states agreed to set up a Loss and Damage Fund to financially assist communities and states highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. However, the modalities of the fund are still up in the air.

On the birdsite Erich Fischer highlights an important graph from the new #IPCC report.

"Warming entirely man-made

Human influence not only contributed to warming since 1850-1900 but caused *all* of it, according to the best quantitative estimate. The warming would have been even stronger, had it not been partly cancelled by the cooling aerosol emissions."

* The aerosol cooling is also a human influence and mostly the same one: burning fossil fuels.
