Angry Weather: Heat Waves, Floods, Storms, and the New Science of Climate Change (World Weather Attribution)

Product Information

In the simplest case, the temperature rises everywhere, the probability of heat waves increases, while cold spells become less likely. Attribution science climate forensics, or reverse engineering is a new discipline explained in this book with passion and verve by one of its creators. Commentators will cite these as yet more examples of climate change, while those denying climate change will argue that these are rare but naturally occurring events. Wer einen Überblick zum Potential der Extremwetterereignis-Attributions-Forschung erhalten möchte, dabei noch eine spannende Sidestory zum Hurrikan Harvey und allerlei aus der Geschichte der Wetter-, Klima- und Klimawandelforschung lesen möchte, bekommt hier genau das. The oceans are heating up, and in some regions the temperature threshold at which the water becomes so warm that it provides enough energy for a tropical cyclone to form has now been exceeded for the first time.

If both warming and circulation change in the same direction, the overall effect will be stronger and disaster may be looming. When the air becomes warmer, it can absorb more water vapor before the water begins to condense and form clouds.

Perhaps, the information could be used as evidence in trials against the contributors of climate change. From a leading scientist, this gripping nonfiction book explains how recent weather disasters—including heat waves, massive forest fires, and hurricanes—can be definitively linked to climate change, through the revolutionary method of World Weather Attribution. Autorka nie przyjmuje pozycji ‚świat się kończy’, ale autentycznie podkreśla w jakim zdarzeniach ekstremalnych zmiany klimatu nie odegrały roli. Because the Earth’s atmosphere is connected via global circulation, temperatures rise in almost every region on the planet. Przeczytałem dużo pozycji dotyczących zmian klimatu, każda traktowała o delikatnie innym aspekcie naszej działalności wobec globalnego ocieplenia.

But they then work in real-time to attribute the increased risk to climate change, not peer reviewing those works until later. Angry Weather tells the compelling, day-by-day story of the World Weather Attribution unit—a team of scientists that studies extreme weather events while they’re happening—and their race to track the connection between the hurricane and climate change. Again, this is absorbed by the “greenhouse gases” in the air and reemitted in all directions with less energy.Attribution science - climate forensics, or reverse engineering - is a new discipline explained in this book with passion and verve by one of its creators. Climate change is something that affects us all in one way or another and Friederike Otto has done a great job of explaining the science behind it without being boring.
