Extreme weather is battering the world. What's the cause? DW 05/17/2024
Briefly

Almost every region in the world saw extreme weather and climate events of different natures...becoming more likely and increasing in intensity due to the greenhouse emissions coming from burning coal, oil and gas.
Climate change increases evaporation, causing intense rainfall and floods in some areas, extreme droughts in others, intensified by warmer ocean temperatures and higher overall temperatures.
Changes in timing and duration of extreme weather events are disrupting normal climatic patterns, making it difficult to define what is normal anymore.
The influence of climate change is apparent in long-term weather trends, impacting specific events as they become more frequent and intense, although tracing direct causation can be challenging.
