AMS Releases Eleventh Edition of the Report Explaining Extreme Events from a Climate Perspective

The Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society has released the 11th edition of Explaining Extreme Events from a Climate Perspective, a collection of peer-reviewed analyses discussing how climate change has “affected the strength and likelihood of individual extreme events.” These papers represent an international spread of researchers, including from the U.S., U.K., South Korea, and China. One of the key findings repeated in the document is that “extreme heat events are increasingly far outside the historical record because of climate change,” which creates new challenges that risk managers will have to face as scientists continue to quantify the environmental impacts of this rapid rise.
