Extreme weather left its mark across the planet in 2016, the hottest year in recorded history. Record heat baked Asia and the Arctic. Droughts gripped Brazil and southern Africa. The Great Barrier Reef suffered its worst bleaching event in memory, killing large swaths of coral.
Now climate scientists are starting to tease out which of last year’s calamities can, and can’t, be linked to global warming.
In a new collection of papers published Wednesday in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, researchers around the world analyzed 27 extreme weather events from 2016 and found that human-caused climate change was a “significant driver” for 21 of them. The effort is part of the growing field of climate change attribution, which explores connections between warming and weather events that have already happened.
In the future, scientists are hoping to refine and standardize their attribution methods, so that a community hit by a storm, wildfire or other extreme event can learn much more quickly how that event might have been swayed by global warming — and take steps to adapt.

....the hottest year in recorded history.
Again?.....................
All extreme cold weather events are just weather.
All other extreme weather events are due to global warming.
...
got it.
lol
By consulting their Quiji boards....or something less reliable such as a computer model that has never been accurate?
There is no Global warming. The Earth is actually cooling. This is a lie to lay a foundation to take your property and give it to third world countries . President Trump stopped this in its tracks in the Paris dictate for which Trump should have schools named after him as the greatest American President— EVER!!

It’s 20 degrees outside with howling winds right now.I’d love some of that “global warming” right now.
makes ya wonder who the ‘extremists’ really are, huh?
Wrong.
As usual.
Always remember, the NYT staff couldn’t get past a good middle school science course.
The key to this one is attempting to correlate something like a transient weather event with something a bit more slow acting like global warming.
That “data” could be destroyed by any good physics freshman.

Its the same thing with wild fires Said in spring this would be a bad season because their perma drought got crushed in California. Here is a head up. Bigger tornado season this spring given pattern, Neither has anything to do with co2
I’m with you! I would like to see some global warming here in Maine.
I went out into the garage to look for something a little while ago. I was only there for a few minutes and I nearly froze off my daddy parts.
MANBEARPIG sighting!!!
This was the hottest year since the first scratchings on caves by Neanderthals!
This analysis is based on temperature readings in more than ten thousand locations around the world, repeated every year for the last ten thousand years.
Or not.... :-)
New chapter each year
Weather is static and lean left.
“the hottest year in recorded history”....AGAIN!?
I mean, c’mon...we have to deal with this myth EVERY YEAR.
We are not talking about “myth” here.
We are talking about insane whoppers propagated by pathological liars.
***I mean, c’mon...we have to deal with this myth EVERY YEAR***
You mean every publication...
It’s impossible to deal with people this stupid. I remember such wildfires over 50 years ago when I was growing up in LA County. Nadja Popovich was born a couple decades later. The child has no perspective and the scientific aptitude of a tree frog. Brad Plumer is an “environmental writer” who lists no jobs on his LinkedIn profile prior to 2014. His beat depends on climate controversy.
