From a leading scientist, this gripping nonfiction book explains
how recent weather disasters-including heat waves, massive forest
fires, and hurricanes-can be definitively linked to climate change,
through the revolutionary method of World Weather Attribution. A
TIME 100 Most Influential Person of 2021: Friederike Otto "Meet the
forensic scientists of climate change; if you like CSI, you will be
equally enthralled with the skill and speed these folks exhibit.
But the stakes are infinitely higher!"-Bill McKibben, author of
Falter and The End of Nature Angry Weather tells the compelling,
day-by-day story of Hurricane Harvey, which caused over a hundred
deaths and $125 billion in damage in 2017. As the hurricane
unfolds, Otto reveals how attribution science works in real time,
and determines that Harvey's terrifying floods were three times
more likely to occur due to human-induced climate change. This new
ability to determine climate change's role in extreme weather
events has the potential to dramatically transform society-for
individuals, who can see how climate change affects their loved
ones, and corporations and governments, who may see themselves held
accountable in the courts. Otto's research laid out in this
groundbreaking book will have profound impacts, both today and for
the future of humankind. Published in Partnership with the David
Suzuki Institute.
