From renowned climate scientist Dr. Friederike Otto, this gripping book unveils the revolutionary science that conclusively establishes a link between extreme weather events, including devastating heat waves, forest fires, floods, and hurricanes, and climate change.
"Meet the forensic scientists of climate change; if you enjoy CSI, you'll be equally enthralled with the skill and speed these folks exhibit. But the stakes are infinitely higher!" - Bill McKibben, author of Falter and The End of Nature
Tied with Hurricane Katrina as the costliest cyclone on record, Hurricane Harvey inflicted catastrophic flooding and over a hundred deaths in 2017.
Angry Weather unfolds the compelling, day-by-day narrative of the World Weather Attribution unit, a team of scientists dedicated to studying extreme weather events in real-time. As the hurricane unfolds, Otto reveals how attribution science operates in real-time, ultimately determining that Harvey's terrifying floods were three times more likely to occur due to human-induced climate change.
At the forefront of cutting-edge climate science, Friederike Otto unveils how the newfound ability to determine climate change's role in extreme weather events can profoundly transform our understanding of the climate crisis. From its impact on vulnerable communities to the potential legal consequences for corporations and governments, this research will have far-reaching implications both in the present and for the future of humankind.
Published in partnership with the David Suzuki Institute, Angry Weather is a vital contribution to our collective efforts to address the urgent challenges posed by climate change.
