  1. All these #ExtremeWeatherEvents we're experiencing on this planet aren't _caused_ by #ClimateChange, they _are_ Climate Change. Climate is just the overall shape of weather over a very long time. If you want to know what the climate of any place is like, you look at the weather in that place over a couple of decades, calculate the average weather for each month of the year, look at the range of temperature and precipitation, how hot and how cold it gets, how wet and how dry, you look at wind speeds, at the number of storms, and when in the course of the year they occur, and you call all of that "climate". Wheather is what happens today, climate is what kind of weather can be expected to happen. Weather is the clothing you wear today, climate is what's in your wardrobe.
    So when the climate is shifting, you don't see the same weather you used to have, only with the frequency of different types of weather changing. What really changes significantly are the extremes, because in a different climate, types of weather that weather that used to be very rare become common, and new types of weather that used to be impossible suddenly begin to happen.

    And this is very bad, of course. People from cold regions may have welcomed #GlobalWarming in the past because it promised to make the cold half of the year more bearable, but now they see tick populations exploding because no ticks freeze to death anymore when temperatures rarely go lower than -1°C or -2°C, barely freezing. They see heatwaves like they've never seen before, and their cities aren't built for it, houses that are designed to keep their insides warm and cozy when it's cold outside suddenly become death traps when outside temperatures stay above 35°C for days and sometimes reach or even exceed 40°C. Average tempereratures may have risen only by 1.5°C, but if you look at the extremes instead of the averages, the picture looks much more dramatic.

    research sheds new light on the links between income-based #emissions inequality and #climateinjustice, illustrating how the consumption and investments of wealthy individuals have had disproportionate impacts on #extremeweatherevents. These impacts are especially severe in vulnerable tropical regions like the #AmazonBasin, #SoutheastAsia, and southern #Africa—all areas that have historically contributed the least to #globalemissions.
