The Climate Crisis Is Now Detectable in Every Single Day of Weather Across The Planet
Carly Cassella, 7 January 2020 (ScienceAlert)
“…[The ‘fingerprint’ of climate change can be identified by researchers in] every single day of weather in the global record since 2012…[W]eather on a local scale still doesn't show a climate change signal. But if you roll these regions out into a global perspective, the variations in temperature and humidity do hold the stamp of humanity. And they are clearly distinguishable from what would happen naturally…[Researchers used] machine learning along with climate models and data and] found daily mean weather values from 1951 to 1980 barely matched up with those from 2009 to 2018…
…[A] stamp of climate change on global weather went back to 1999. And from 2012, it could be seen every single day. And the signal of climate change is now so big it's greater than global daily weather variability…[These] findings suggest climate change is more deeply rooted than we thought, but if we can figure out how to link long-term trends with short-term weather events, it could help us prepare for the worst…” click here for more
