Description:

This year’s report includes climate change attribution assessments of seventeen different extreme events from around the world dur-ing 2017 (Table S1) and once again illustrates that both terrestrial and oceanic heat events are becom-ing more frequent and intense as a consequence of human-induced climate change. For example, climate change increased the odds at least threefold since 1950 of a heat wave like the one that impacted southern Europe (Kew et al. 2019). The November 2017/18 Tasman Sea marine heatwave was found to be virtually impossible without anthropogenic inf luence (Perkins-Kirkpatrick et al. 2019). Ocean heat events have wide-ranging impacts; for example, warm sea surface temperatures in the west Pacific Ocean, which were found to not be possible without human-caused climate change, doubled the probability of African drought, which contributed to food insecurity (Funk et al. 2008). These results continue to build the body of evidence that the oceans experience extreme heat events and the heat events in turn drive extreme events on land.
