Compound Climate Disasters May Rise Directly With Carbon Emissions, Study Warns
A new Nature study suggests that overlapping extreme weather events such as heat, floods and drought are becoming more common as cumulative CO2 emissions rise, with the rarest combinations escalating fastest.
Key Takeaways
- A new Nature study links cumulative CO2 emissions to more frequent compound extreme weather events.
- Researchers developed a metric called TCoRE to quantify how compound-event risk rises with emissions.
