"Attribution studies calculate whether, and by how much, climate change affected the intensity, frequency or impact of extremes – from wildfires in the US and drought in South Africa through to record-breaking rainfall in Pakistan and typhoons in Taiwan. To keep track of this rapidly growing field of research, Carbon Brief has mapped every published study on how climate change has influenced extreme weather." https://interactive.carbonbrief.org/attribution-studies/index.html

"Advances in attribution science have made it possible to blame climate change for extreme events with confidence. Such knowledge could be used to strengthen litigation against fossil fuel companies." “A report with the kind of gravitas that the National Academies can bring will be a huge boost to the plaintiff’s cases.” https://eos.org/research-and-developments/were-getting-better-at-knowing-when-climate-change-is-to-blame-national-academies-report-says
