Angry weather : heat waves, floods, storms, and the new science of climate change / Friederike Otto with Benjamin von Brackel ; translation by Sarah Pybus. by Otto, Friederike, author. Vancouver : Greystone Books, 2020. Subjects Weather -- Effect of human beings on.   Climatic changes -- Effect of human beings on.   Severe storms. ISBN:  9781771646147 (hbk.) : 1771646144 (hbk.) Description:  xv, 243 pages ; 23 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Massive fires, widespread floods, Category 4 hurricanes--shocking weather disasters dominate news headlines every year, but not everyone agrees on what causes them. Renowned University of Oxford researcher Friederike Otto provides an answer with attribution science, a revolutionary method for pinpointing the role of climate change in extreme weather events. Anchoring her book with the gripping, day-by-day story of Hurricane Harvey, which caused over a hundred deaths and $125 billion in damage in 2017, Otto reveals how attribution science works in real time, and determines that Harvey's terrifying floods were three times more likely to occur due to human-induced climate change. This new ability to determine climate change's role in extreme weather events has the potential to dramatically transform society--for individuals, who can see how climate change affects their loved ones, and corporations and governments, who may see themselves held accountable in the courts. Otto's research laid out in this groundbreaking book will have profound impacts, both today and for the future of humankind"--Dust jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.6 Ot Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 551.6 Ot Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.6 Otto Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.6 Ot Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.6 Ot Checked In Add Copy to MyList
