Description

Extreme weather events, including deadly heat waves, forest fires, floods, and hurricanes, are increasingly linked to climate change. Dr. Friederike Otto reveals the revolutionary science behind this connection in her book Angry Weather.

Through the story of the World Weather Attribution unit, a team of scientists studying extreme weather events in real-time, Otto explains how attribution science works and determines the role of human-induced climate change in events like Hurricane Harvey. The research in Angry Weather has profound implications for how we view the climate crisis and those who may be held accountable.

Published in partnership with the David Suzuki Institute, this book offers a compelling look at the cutting-edge science behind climate change and its impact on our world.
