Daniel Swain, a climate scientist from the University of California, Los Angeles, talks about the new science of extreme events attribution
The planet is warming as predicted and its impacts are unfolding as laid out. Climate change is real; there is no dispute over it. But can we directly attribute these rising disasters to human-induced climate change? That is the raging scientific question.
To answer this, a new stream of science — called ‘extreme events attribution’ — has emerged since the early 2000s. Basically, scientists mount forensic evaluation on a weather event to look for the fingerprints of human-induced climate change.
It is an elaborate scientific exercise that evaluates an event’s probability in the case of the world with human-emitted greenhouse gases (GHG) and in a world without these factors. With development of models, scientists can now conduct ‘fast track attribution’ of a weather event within a few months.
Daniel Swain is a climate scientist at the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He studies whether human-induced climate change has increased or caused severe extreme weather events.
Avantika Goswami speaks to Swain to understand the science of extreme events attribution and to know how much is the impact of humans on the increasing extreme events. Edited excerpts:
* Avantika Goswami: How has the stream of attribution science evolved in recent years?
Daniel Swain: Much has changed in the climate attribution sphere in the past few years. It used to be the refrain among climate scientists and meteorologists that you cannot make a direct link between a specific extreme weather event and climate change.
At one point of time, that was an accurate statement. But it is no longer. Because there are an increasing number of types of events with which we can make a direct connection to climate change.
