Society EARLY ONLINE RELEASE
The emergence of clear semantics for causal claims and of a sound logic for causal reasoning is relatively recent, with the consolidation over the past decades of a coherent theoretical corpus of definitions, concepts and methods of general applicability (e.g. Pearl [2000]) which is anchored into counterfactuals. The latter corpus has proved to be of high practical interest in numerous applied ...
متن کاملDADA: data assimilation for the detection and attribution of weather and climate-related events
We describe a new approach that allows for systematic causal attribution of weather and climate-related events, in near-real time. The method is designed so as to facilitate its implementation at meteorological centers by relying on data and methods that are routinely available when numerically forecasting the weather. We thus show that causal attribution can be obtained as a by-product of data...
متن کاملScientific Challenges in the Attribution of Harm to Human Influence on Climate
The authors of this Article review the current state of the science of attribu-tion of anthropogenic climate change, with particular emphasis on the meth-odological challenges that are likely to confront any attempt to establish a direct causal link between greenhouse gas emissions and specific damaging weather events. Standard " detection and attribution " analyses, such as those cited by the ...
متن کاملThe Proximate, Underlying and Ultimate Causes Accounting for the Increasing Costs of Weather Related Disasters: a Diagnosis and Prescription
A small part of the answer to the first question is that anthropogenic climate change is adding further and increased destabilization to the climate system, and resulting in some places in more extreme and perhaps more frequent events. This in turn contributes to increasing costs of weather related disasters. It is not possible to specify with any precision or confidence what this causal fracti...
متن کاملAttribution of Weather and Climate-Related Extreme Events
Unusual or extreme weather and climate-related events are of great public concern and interest, yet there are often conflicting messages from scientists about whether such events can be linked to climate change. There is clear evidence that climate has changed as a result of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, and that across the globe some aspects of extremes have changed as a result. But ...
