Mapping Extreme Weather

The folks at Carbon Brief created a nice interactive web map attributing weather extremes to climate change - here's their conclusion: "Carbon Brief's analysis suggests 63% of all extreme weather events studied to date were made more likely or more severe by human-caused climate change. Heatwaves account for nearly half of such events (46%), droughts make up 21% and heavy rainfall or floods account for 14%."
