The podcast explores the concept of world weather attribution, where scientists analyze the impact of climate change on extreme weather events. Researchers use weather models to determine the extent to which climate change contributes to events like heatwaves and droughts. By comparing observations and climate models, they assess how climate change influences the frequency and intensity of these events, providing valuable insights for journalists and the public.
