Why Extreme Weather Keeps Surprising You | What Next: TBD | Tech, power, and the future

Saying any one storm or heat wave or weather in general was “caused by climate change” is tricky-summer is, after all, usually pretty hot, and storms happen. But researchers are working on a model that brings “climate change” from abstract into the particular.
Guest: Daniel Swain, climate scientist at the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, studying how extreme events are changing on a warming Earth.

"This is the fastest climate change in earth history" IPCC 2019 Special Report.
For those who don't know yet:
All events of the past, that comes close to our current rate of change -> leads to mass extinction (>75% of all species go extinct)
_(In fact - there is no comparable event - this climate change is estimated to be 10x to 100x times faster than any other before)_
thx for the sugar
