- Here is an outline of the structure of my talk. First I’ll discuss some of the key findings of a recent Intergovernmental report that investigated the nature and causes of climate change. Then I’ll define some terms that I’ll be using in my talk. Next I’ll try to give you some indication of the principal advances that have been made in our knowledge of the causes of climate change. Most of the talk will focus on discussion of one example of a so-called “fingerprint” study - a statistical comparison of patterns of climate change in observed data and in model predictions. Finally, in my concluding remarks, I’ll point out some of the key uncertainties in this type of work, and tell you why I believe that we all have a stake in advancing the science.
- In the context of vulnerability, vulnerability is generally higher to extreme events, because we are less adapted to cope with extreme conditions, especially as they move beyond what we have seen previously
- Expected to be one of the near-term challenges of climate change, since small changes in average conditions can create large changes in the incidence of extremes.
