#ClimateChange goosed #hurricane wind strength by 18 mph since 2019, study says "The analysis found 84% of hurricanes between 2019 and 2023 were more intense than they would have been without climate change. The wind speeds of the hurricanes were cranked up by an average of 18 mph, which caused 30 of them to go up at least one category higher on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale." https://apnews.com/article/hurricanes-climate-change-helene-beryl-milton-florida-24c2cbbb58d85903c22f40b9690e28f6

"Another opportunity created by climate #attribution science is the potential to quantify the *future* #ClimateDamage of proposed fossil fuel projects. Just as fossil fuel companies seek to avoid responsibility for #ClimateChange damages caused by historical emissions, companies also work to trivialise the future contributions of new coal, gas, and oil projects when seeking development approvals." https://reneweconomy.com.au/emissions-to-impact-how-climate-science-will-hold-fossil-fuel-companies-to-account/
