Is extreme weather a result of random chance or a changing climate?
In short: This video explores the distinction between weather and climate to investigate whether the rising frequency of extreme weather events is driven by shifting climate patterns or mere coincidence.
R. Saravanan examines why the world has seen an increase in extreme weather events over the last 40 years. This includes record-breaking heat waves, rampant wildfires, and a prolonged period of category 5 tropical cyclones between 2016 and 2019. The investigation looks at how we predict these events and what those predictions reveal about the ongoing trend of increasing weather extremes.
