Weird weather and climate warming are two separate things, but a Stanford team is linking them.
Using math, powerful computers and historical records, research led by Noah Diffenbaugh found that climate change has boosted the odds of extreme heat, drought, punishing rainstorms and retreating sea ice.
The odds of hitting record-setting level of extremes have been made greater by climate warming, caused by human emission of greenhouse gases, said Diffenbaugh, a professor of Earth system science at Stanfords School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences.
In the past, scientists typically avoided conflating individual weather events and climate change, citing the challenges of teasing apart human influence from the natural variability of the weather.
The new paper, the latest in a burgeoning new field of climate science called extreme event attribution, links them. Published in last weeks Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team built the first-ever four-step framework for testing whether global warming has contributed to record-setting weather events.

So...let's try "Extreme Event Attribution." That's SURE to win over the people and get them to fork over tens of trillions of dollars and give up their liberty.
The companion article to the one you posted today about “Rising Seas” in the Merc.
Using Historical Records?
If they are linking this to Man, I sure would like to see what a 1000 BC Model Chevy Suburban looked like.
“Now will you guys give me the grant money you’ve been withholding? I said what you wanted me to say and prostituted myself for the rest of my career. Give it up!”
Another working backwards to justify a preconceived belief action of the people funding this. Too many scientists are becoming whores.
Extreme studies linked to government funding.
global warming didn’t pan out, and now climate change is failing, so the new anthropocentric doomsday mantra is “extreme weather”.
“Extreme Weather” is the perfect bugaoboo because within our short lifetimes each of us experiences or hears about weather more intense than what we normally experience, and in our limited perspectives, we naturally view such events as extreme.
Since normal people do not study weather history, we actually have no idea at all what “extreme weather” really is, though we think we do. Therefore, when we’re told fake explanations for what causes “extreme weather”, we all nod our heads wisely.
Lol.
Nonsense, still trying to see what they can throw against the wall that sticks without losing their grants to study computer generated quackery.
a burgeoning new field of climate science called extreme event attribution,...
Well, now that they put it that way...
They can still go #### themselves :)
Extreme weather is actually linked to....NATURE...
More attempts to ‘cold read’ the climate - no different than the psychic scam.

No doubt they have interviews from Ughh and his wife Umph from 3000 BC.
There is no weird or extreme weather. These things have all happened before. If anything things are on the calmer side.

Sorry, but Algore beat you years ago to the “burgeoning new field of climate science called extreme event attribution,”.
But I have to ask, with regard to “extreme weather” — where is it? Hurricanes seem to be in a lull. I just saw a map the other day that shows US drought coverage is way down. I haven’t seen much about catastrophic floods lately. Where is all this “extreme weather”?
What ISN’T linked?
A lot of erosion has occurred over the last 130 years. In the blink animation above (click on the image to see animation) note that the rock under the three people standing on the right in the 1871 image is gone, and has formed a small island of boulders with three people sitting on it in the recent image. There is no evidence that sea level has risen.
A few Palm Trees have been planted, but the sea appears to be in exactly the same place it was 130 years ago. In fact the rocks on the upper right are higher above the water now than in the earlier picture (high tide.) There is no glacial rebound in San Diego, and the faults in the region are strike-slip (horizontal) faults. They dont cause vertical movement. Prior to the March quake this year, the last large quake to hit the region was in 1862.

More ‘computer models’. Well I have an engineering degree. I can use ‘math’, my home computer, and historical records and come to any conclusion I want to. This is more pablum for the uneducated.
