Question 4

Recent IPCC reports consistently highlight an observed trend in extreme weather events globally. Considering these assessments, which of the following statements is most accurate regarding the relationship between climate change and extreme weather?

Accepted Answer

C. Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of many pre-existing extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, heavy precipitation, and tropical cyclones. — IPCC reports unequivocally state that human-induced climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of many extreme weather events globally, including heatwaves, heavy precipitation, and tropical cyclones.

Natural variability plays a role, but the observed trends in extremes cannot be explained without accounting for human influence.

Answer
