Extreme weather affects our planet, our people and our business.
Climate Change partner Jeff Fort examines how adapting to this
"new normal" will create challenges and provide
opportunities for industries and governments worldwide.
Are extreme weather events associated with climate change?
Yes. The Obama administration has also cited to extreme weather
events as evidence that climate change is already occurring, years
earlier than expected.
Extreme weather events are associated with climate change
through extensive research, verification and modeling. These
analyses have been carried out by scores of academic and
government-employed scientists. They have reached a remarkable
consistency. Those models very strongly indicate, with a high
degree of confidence, that mankind is contributing to change in the
climate. These analyses also predict extreme weather conditions,
such as severe storms droughts, floods and temperature
extremes.
