Attribution Science: Helping to Understand Weather in a Changing Climate

People understand that the climate is changing, but they still have questions about how it is influencing weather. Did climate change make this storm stronger? How much warmer was this winter because of climate change? Attribution science is a way to assess and quantify the role of climate change in weather, from extreme events to everyday temperatures. Climate Central and the American Meteorological Society discussed the advances in attribution science, including examples of how broadcast meteorologists are incorporating it in their work, and tools that you can use to understand how our changing climate is changing our weather.
