At least 85 percent of the global population has experienced weather events made worse by climate change, according to research published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Using machine learning to analyze and map more than 100,000 studies of events that could be linked to global warming, researchers paired the analysis with a well-established data set of temperature and precipitation shifts caused by fossil fuel use and other sources of carbon emissions.
These combined findings - which focused on events such as crop failures, floods and heat waves - allowed scientists to make a solid link between escalating extremes and human activities. They concluded that global warming has affected 80 percent of the world’s land area.
“We have a huge evidence base now that documents how climate change is affecting our societies and our ecosystems,” said lead author Max Callaghan, researcher at the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change in Germany.
The study provides hard numbers to back up the lived experiences of people from New York City to South Sudan. “Climate change,” Callaghan said, “is visible and noticeable almost everywhere in the world.”
The findings come amid a major push to get countries to commit to more ambitious climate goals ahead of a United Nations summit in Glasgow next month. Research shows that existing pledges will put the planet on track to heat up about 2.7 degrees Celsius (4.9 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century - a level of warming that would lead to drastic food and water shortages, deadly weather disasters and catastrophic ecosystem collapse.

Prove it.
Are we doing the Hokey Pokey again??
Let’s see if I can remember;
“You put your right foot in...”
There isn’t any “Human induced climate change” or they wouldn’t have embarrassed themselves by changing the name from “Global Warming”.
These political crisis’ are so damn clever and convenient.
My ear hurts.
More fear mongering. Chicken Little is loose.
Always the stories are about people Climate Change (tm) has hurt - what about the ones it’s helped, even enriched? Algore, Greta, international grievance committees, salespeople of carbon credits, alternate power hucksters - why don’t we tax the hell out of them on behalf of those of us who are oppressed?
Only 85%?
We aren’t taxing the 15% enough.
100% of all humanity have been effected by weather.
I was killed because of melting glaciers in 2013.
When I was listening to the stock report on the radio today I heard about the winter wheat report.
These farmers have seen some weather in their lifetimes.
Ask the wheat growers if they see a climate change.
100% of all humanity has been effected by weather.
So cool! They found us another 9 years! Hurray for science!
That’s the tip off, never a single article discussing any benefit of warming.
Warming is ALWAYS harmful - even when it leads to COLDER weather. We need to bottle this magic stuff.
K-killed? (Shudders)

Hmm... I have to wonder about the objectivity of this source.
