Stanford expert brings climate change science to heated Capitol Hill – Phys.org

“We can point clearly to the causal mechanism, but it’s still difficult to predict exactly when or where the crisis – either the accident from speeding in a car or the disaster that’s related to climate change – will occur, he said. “But still, we can have high confidence in the driving mechanism.” Or, as Field put it later in his testimony, “It is critical to understand that the link between climate change and the kinds of extremes that lead to disasters is clear.”
