Description
From leading climate scientist Dr. Friederike Otto, this gripping book reveals the revolutionary science that definitively links extreme weather eventsâ?"including deadly heat waves, forest fires, floods, and hurricanesâ?"to climate change. â?oMeet the forensic scientists of climate change; if you like CSI, youâ?Tll be equally enthralled with the skill and speed these folks exhibit. But the stakes are infinitely higher!â?? â?"Bill McKibben, author of Falter and The End of NatureTied with Hurricane Katrina as the costliest cyclone on record, Hurricane Harvey caused catastrophic flooding and over a hundred deaths in 2017. Angry Weather tells the compelling, day-by-day story of the World Weather Attribution unitâ?"a team of scientists that studies extreme weather events while theyâ?Tre happeningâ?"and their race to track the connection between the hurricane and climate change. As the hurricane unfolds, Otto reveals how attribution science works in real time, and determines that Harveyâ?Ts terrifying floods were three times more likely to occur due to human-induced climate change. At the forefront of cutting-edge climate science, Friederike Otto uncovers how the new ability to determine climate changeâ?Ts role in extreme weather events can dramatically transform how we view the climate crisis: from how it will affect those of us who are most vulnerable, to the corporations and governments that may find themselves held accountable in the courts. The research laid out in Angry Weather will have profound impacts, both today and for the future of humankind. Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.
