2018 Fall Meeting

10-15 December

Scientists can now attribute weather extremes to human-caused climate change with increasingly specific and useful findings about new norms of unusual, high-impact events. At this press conference, the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society documents these advancing capabilities with the release of its 7th annual special collection of attribution research—17 independent studies of extreme events including drought in the U.S. Northern Plains and East Africa; floods in Bangladesh, China, and Peru; and fires in Australia.
