Latest (and very rapid) attribution study from @clairebergin.bsky.social @lionel-swan.bsky.social & Met Éireann @wasitusie.bsky.social

Our new study "Climate change increases flood risk associated with winter rainfall on east coast of Ireland" is available now

Watch out for our new study being published at 8pm on the WASITUS.ie website!

🚨 NEW STUDY: As Australia prepares for another heatwave, our latest study found the early January heatwave which hit SE Australia was made 5x more likely due to climate change. What was once a relatively rare 1-in-25-year event is now expected about every 5 years. 🧵 1/6

In the world we live in today, that is 1.3C warmer due to our continued burning of fossil fuels, the extreme rainfall leading to disastrous flooding in many parts of Asia is up to 50 to 160% more intense - new @wwattribution.bsky.social study www.worldweatherattribution.org/increasing-h...

Listen back: RTE news at 1 to hear our researcher Dr Claire Bergin talk about our new research. The study focuses on the rainfall associated with storm Claudia and the flooding related impacts. Starts at 25:50

The 2015 Paris Agreement could help the world avoid 57 hot days if countries follow through on their emission-cutting plans and limit warming this century to 2.6°C, a new study by @climatecentral.org and @wwattribution.bsky.social has found 🧵

Starting out to meetings in London with @wwattribution.bsky.social to discuss @wasitusie.bsky.social collaboration and then next week an @ipcc.bsky.social special report related meeting. The captain expects a smooth crossing. Pump it into my veins 🤣

See our most recent study featured on RTE news today!

Ireland was set for average summer heat but climate change pushed temperature to record high

Human-caused climate change made the warm days experienced this summer nine times more likely, and the warm nights 40 times more likely, according to a new study from climatologists at ICARUS, MU's climate research centre, and Met Éireann.

"Climate change turned a would-be average Irish
summer into a record breaker" - This was largely due to the high night-time temperatures which are 40 times more likely due to human-caused climate change. See our full report at mural.maynoothuniversity.ie/id/eprint/20...

Great to see coverage of our first full @wasitusie.bsky.social study on RTE (and elsewhere). Kudos @clairebergin.bsky.social and Lionel swan as well as met Éireann colleagues and thanks as ever to @wwattribution.bsky.social for the hugely valuable collaboration www.rte.ie/news/ireland...
