📌Editorial piece provides balanced, high-level view of #climateattribution
Tarsands companies pushed out #netzero pledge to 2050 -- want taxpayers to pay for carbon capture (expensive band-aid).
Canadian government's larger goal = reduce oil & gas emissions by 40% by 2030. Measures are required to improve long-term standard of health & living for everyone.

Rapid climate attribution: February 2025 #floods in Queensland mostly exacerbated by human-driven climate change.
Neither Prime Minister Albanese nor Opposition Leader Dutton mentioned the 'C' word in talking about #QldFloods in parliament

"Across all these cases, 74% were made more likely or severe because of #ClimateChange. This includes multiple cases where scientists found that an extreme was virtually impossible without human influence on global temperatures."
Another recent advance is “impact #attribution”, which quantifies the social, economic and/or ecological impacts arising from the influence of climate change on extreme weather."

"The deadly heatwave that scorched large swaths of Mexico, Central America and the southern US in May and June was made 35 times more likely due to human-induced global heating, according to research by leading climate scientists from World Weather Attribution."

B.C. coal mining company, Conuma Resources, fined for... 400+ violations. Repeatedly failed to follow environmental protection rules, over several years, including:
☠️ failure to monitor waste water flowing into 🐟 fish-bearing streams
☣️ failure to properly set up operations to prevent excessive amounts of dust & discharge from entering the surrounding air
Total penalties: CAD$45,850 to be paid within 30 days of receipt.
⚠️ Slap on the wrist?

Interesting - Davide Faranda is doing #ClimateAttribution in a very different way to #WorldWeatherAttributionProject - they look only at dynamical patterns in the Reanalysis and don't run climate models.
Would be fascinating to see how the two different techniques compare.

#ClimateDiary Ok i am not a #ClimateAttribution scientist but i am going to go out on a limb here: climate change comes into this unprecedented flooding and we should all talk about it in these terms as we will only get more travel chaos. #Floods #Eurostar #ClimateEmergency
Eurostar cancels all today's trains after tunnel floods https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67846863

Another interesting subject at the #NCKF symposium: #ClimateAttribution from another brilliant #WomenInSTEM - Jordis Tradowsky from MetNorway..
Appropriate given #Copenhagen currently also experiencing #WeatherExtreme flooding of the metro..

💥Hawaii State Supreme Court just ruled a potentially historic and precedent-setting lawsuit to bring Big Oil case to trial: Upheld lower court ruling that rejected big 🛢️s effort to dismiss case.
👀The case will enter *full discovery* and court can finally set date to go to trial!
Fossil fuel companies will face evidence of decades-long #climatedeception campaign.

"Taxpayers shouldn't have to foot the bill for billions of dollars in damages — #wildfires wiping out entire communities, toxic #wildfiresmoke clogging our air, deadly #heatwaves, record-breaking #droughts parching our wells."
California files lawsuit, claiming oil & gas companies deceived the public about the risks of fossil fuels.

:micdrop:"You cannot read it without crawling out of your skin. The level of deceit is not even debatable now...deceit that's been around for 70+ years that they knowingly advanced or delayed progress and implementation to address this disease."
#ClimateChange leadership, Governor Gavin Newsom + attorney general Rob Bonta at #ClimateWeek NYC
Announced 2 climate-focused bills for major corporations to be more transparent about GHG and the financial risks
