We know anthropogenic climate change will increase the probability of extreme weather events. But how much and in which regions?

Valerio Lucarini and Vera Melinda Galfi demonstrate in Physical Review Letters that it is possible to estimate the probability of future extreme weather events in a selected region.

The method combines statistics with state-of-the-art climate models and estimates the probability of extreme weather events in key target geographical regions under changing climate conditions due to anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
