Here’s why climate change isn’t always to blame for extreme rainfall

Some were quick to point the finger at climate change when floods hit eastern Australia in February and March 2022, in the lead up to the federal election. But it’s not that simple, scientists say.

I know climate scientist are ~supposed~ to end our interviews with something hopeful, but I wanted to end with a dose of reality. There isn't some omniscient saviour that is going to swoop in and stop the planet reaching 1.5 or 2. We actually have to

Our new commentary in @NatureClimate led by @AndrewKingClim - on the role of Extreme Event Attribution in Loss and Damage, short 🧵 Poorer countries must be compensated for climate damage. But how exactly do we crunch the numbers? theconversation.com/poorer-c… via @ConversationEDU

Poorer countries must be compensated for climate damage. But how exactly do we crunch the numbers?

Extreme weather events are complex – and working out exactly how much damage climate change caused is a tricky task.

Congratulations to @dtfraz, winner of the 2023 Moran Medal from the @Science_Academy!
Australian Academy of Science@Science_Academy13 Mar 2023
A/Prof David Frazier is awarded the Moran Medal for research deciphering the web of complex models that underpin modern life. @dtfraz uses Bayesian statistical inference methods—this allows 'approximate' amounts to take the place of unknown quantities.

From Netflix to cars: better automate decision with statistics

I deeply appreciate the core message here that we need to talk about the 69% biodiversity loss since the 70s. But that is where this viz stops for me. Everything else about it is deeply misleading...🧵
