The frequency and intensity of natural disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, and floods are predicted to change as greenhouse gas concentrations increas
Natural disaster Flooding Climate change beliefs 1. Introduction Despite a strong consensus within the scientific community on contemporaneous global climate change, public opinions on its existence and anthropogenic causes diverge (Cook et al., 2013). Nonetheless, the belief in the existence of climate...
The impacts of climate change on people's health around the world,including deaths due to heatwaves and the consequences of food insecurity,are at their"most worrying"since an international initiative began tracking them five years ago. All 16 indicators of the health impacts of a warming world...
This approach utilized a methodology for the trend attribution extensively used to examine the impacts of climate change on crops (e.g. Lobell39,40) and has been previously applied to analyse the observed climate change impact of fire in Catalonia (NE of Spain41) and in southern France42. ...

Apart from these exceptions—which are big enough to be reasons themselves for tackling human-caused climate change—our known impacts on the climate cannot be blamed for causing disasters, even when hazards are substantially worsened. The disaster comes from vulnerability and we can choose to tackle...
This process is expected to induce transition risks in addition to physical ones stemming from the climate change itself. Although both are important, this paper’s focus is on the former. The reason is that firms feel less exposed to physical risk, which is expected to materialize in the ...
This article examines the natural disasters that have been linked to climate change through compelling scientific evidence and studies. You'll learn how specific fires, floods, hurricanes, and other events were influenced by a changing climate.
