The Global Climate 2011-2015 also examines whether humaninduced climatechange was directly linked to individual extreme events.Of 79 studies published by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Societybetween 2011 and 2014, more than half found that human-induced climatechange contributed to the extreme event in question. "The effects of climate change have been consistently visible on the global scalesince the 1980s: rising global temperature, both over land and in the ocean; sea-level rise; and the widespread melting of ice. It has increased the risks ofextreme events such as heatwaves, drought, record rainfall and damagingfloods," said Mr Taalas. WMO will release its provisional assessment of the state of the climate in 2016on 14 November to inform the climate change negotiations in Marrakech, Morrocco. Climate change and extreme weather Many individual extreme weather andclimate events recorded during 2011-2015 were made more likely as a result ofhuman-induced climate change. In numerous cases, including the 2011 flooding in South-East Asia, the 2013 2015 drought in southern Brazil, and the very wet winter of 2013 2014 in theUnited Kingdom, no clear evidence was found of an influence from anthropogenic climate change. In the case of the extreme rainfall in the United Kingdom in December 2015, itwas found that climate change had made such an event about 40% more likely.
The World Meteorological Organization has published a detailed analysis of the global climate 2011-2015 ,the hottest five-year period on record, and the increasingly visible human footprint on extreme weather and climate events with dangerous and costly impacts. This is important to realize that the climate is becoming warmer and will effect our environment. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/11/161108122748.htm
