When think about climate change, we may think about global temperatures escalating, extreme weather events occurring more and more and sea levels rising. But what effect is all of this actually having on the everyday lives of the world's population, especially those that are most vulnerable? In this episode, we speak to Dr Friederike Otto about her latest book Climate Injustice: Why We Need to Fight Global Inequality to Combat Climate Change. She tells us how facts and evidence and are vital if we want to combat the effects of climate change on the world's poorest populations, how the historical effects of inequality are deeply ingrained in the issue, and why the future doesn't have to be as bleak as some may say.

Episode 299 In a climate justice special episode of the podcast, the biggest issue of the century is up for discussion. Find out the true impact of climate change on our planet and who should be paying to fix the crisis. Rowan Hooper and Madeleine Cuff are joined by two climate experts - Friederike Otto and Joyce Kimutai from the World Weather Attribution project at Imperial College London. This episode is dedicated to answering three questions - starting with the issue of climate attribution. To what extent can we blame climate change for extreme weather events like hurricanes, droughts, heatwaves, floods and wildfires? Find out how climate attribution began as a fringe science and how it has evolved to become a firm part of public consciousness. The next question is one of climate justice - how can we make sure rich countries pay for the loss and damage caused to poorer countries by climate change? The argument is that poorer nations are least responsible for climate change, yet they are most affected by its impacts. So at the latest UN climate summit, COP28, a lot of money was pledged - yet hardly any of it has actually materialised. So what's going on? And the third question is about litigation - can climate attribution be used to achieve justice, by forcing climate polluters to pay up? A trial is ongoing where a company in Germany is being sued for its role in damaging the climate - but it's still unclear whether the case will be successful. The hope is with climate attribution, it'll be easier to bring cases like this forward and offer up a more detailed picture of how much damage has been done - and how much money is owed.

This week at least 150 people have been killed due to devastating flash flooding sweeping through areas of Valencia in Spain. Ana Camarasa Belmonte, Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Valencia, has been studying the flood patterns and hydrology of the area for years. Even she was astounded by the magnitude of the inundation. And, as Jess Neumann of Reading University in the UK tells Roland, part of the tragedy is that the effective communication of risk somehow relies on citizens being able to adequately imagine the almost unimaginable.Ten years ago this week, Friederike Otto and colleagues founded the World Weather Attribution network. The network aims to provide quick analysis of climate change's impact on on extreme weather events. They have already found that the Spanish flooding was made more intense, and more likely, by our warming world. Earlier in the week they published a different analysis of the 10 most deadly, extreme-weather events of this century. They concluded that all 10 events were made more extreme or more likely by climate change, and that these 10 events alone account for some 570,000 deaths.In the US, Scientists have tested the strain of H5N1 bird flu swabbed from the eye of an infected Texan farm worker. They found it to be both lethal and transmissible via the respiratory tract of mice and ferrets. It contains a mutation PB2-627K, common in avian viruses in mammalian cells, as Amie Eisfeld of the Universoity of Wisconsin-Madison explains.Presented by Roland Pease Produced by Alex Mansfield Production Coordination by Jana Bennett-Holesworth(Image: Aftermath of catastrophic floods in Spain's Valencia.

Seit Jahren ist die Klimakrise spür- und sichtbar: Es häufen sich extreme Wetterereignisse wie Hitzewellen, Hochwasser und Stürme. Der Planet "fiebert", sagt die Klimaforscherin und Philosophin Friederike Otto. Was klimabedingte Veränderungen für die Zukunft der Menschheit bedeuten können und inwieweit uns eine apokalyptische Vorstellung von Zukunft wachrüttelt oder resignieren lässt, darüber spricht sie mit Denise M'Baye und Sebastian Friedrich.

In this episode, Graihagh Jackson explores the new field of climate attribution science with leading climatologist Dr Friederike Otto. Dr Otto's team of experts can now rapidly assess to what extent extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts or floods have - or have not - been caused by man-made climate change.Graihagh finds out how this information is becoming crucial for disaster planning and response. She's also joined by BBC World Service disinformation reporter Jacqui Wakefield to discuss how Dr Otto's data can help fight a growing tendency by politicians and journalists to overstate the role of climate change.Presenters: Graihagh Jackson and Jacqui Wakefield Producer: Osman Iqbal Production Coordinator: Brenda Brown Sound design: Tom Brignell Editor: Simon Watts

Die Physikerin und promovierte Philosophin Prof. Dr. Friederike Otto ist Klimaforscherin und untersucht Extremwettereignisse. Im letzten Jahr wurde sie für ihre Arbeit mit dem "Deutschen Umweltpreis" ausgezeichnet. In ihrem aktuellen Buch "KlimaUNgerechtigkeit" geht Friederike Otto der Frage nach, inwiefern der Klimawandel gesellschaftliche Ungleichheiten verschärft, gibt konkrete Beispiele von extremen Wetterereignissen und benennt, wer davon besonders betroffen ist.

A recently published study out of China is spooking the internet, as it suggests a Chinese lab manufactured a mutant viral strain that kills 100% of ‘humanized' mice. Reading the study will provide you with important details, however, such as the fact the entire thing was based on a “unique model” and not any actual virus or disease. In fact, even the one of the model isolates did “not appear to cause obvious disease.” This is the psychological definition of “fear porn”, which deliberately plays on public fear of disease, disaster, and death. Alongside the deadly computer model, is the increasing attention to something called Disease X, which is making its rounds from Johns Hopkins and the World Economic Forum to the mainstream media, specialty labs in the UK, and the US Congress. Some are reporting that Disease X will come from melting ice due to Climate Change, despite the fact that this theory is also based on… computer models. In fact, the AP reported on the supposed heat records in 2023 as such: “The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Thursday issued a note of caution about the Maine tool's findings, saying it could not confirm data that results in part from computer modeling, saying it wasn't a good substitute for observations.” This is identical to Pfizer's response to claims about their virus research: “most of this work is conducted using computer simulations.” But who cares about objective fact - certainly not Friederike Otto of Imperial College London, who said “I don't think it's crucial how ‘official' the numbers are, what matters is that they are huge and dangerous and wouldn't have happened without climate change.” FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioWEBSITE, BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE YEARLY: http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

Die Physikerin Friederike Otto ist eine der renommiertesten Klimaforscherinnen. Im Podcast sagt sie: Um die Klimakrise zu lösen, dürfen wir sie nicht länger als ein rein physikalisches Problem sehen.

Klimaveränderungen und Extremwetterereignisse vernichten überall auf dem Globus Menschenleben, Natur, Heimat und Lebensgrundlagen. Klimaforscherin Friederike Otto erläutert, ob wirklich nur "der Klimawandel" schuld daran ist. Moderation: Anja Backhaus Von WDR 5.

„Man darf nicht so tun als ob es beim Klimawandel um den Schutz von Eisbären geht“, betont die Autorin Friederike Otto. Tatsächlich verstärke der Klimawandel andere gesellschaftliche Probleme, zum Beispiel Ungleichheit.

Storm Daniel devastated the city of Derna in Libya after heavy rainfall broke a dam, causing extreme flooding downstream. The World Weather Attribution (WWA) reports that severe flooding in Libya and across the Mediterranean has been made more likely and more intense due to human induced climate change. WWA scientist Friederike Otto gets into the report. Back in 2020, NASA's OSIRIS-REx scooped up rock and dust samples from asteroid Bennu and on Sunday September 24th, 2023 the sample capsule will finally be released 100,000 kilometres above Earth, delivering it to the Great Salk Lake Desert. OSIRIS REx engineer Anjani Polit tells us about the nail-biting return. Also this week, Dr Peter Hotez warns us about the dangerous and rapid rise of anti-science sentiment in the United States. It's all in his new book "The Deadly Rise of Anti-Science". And the remnants of what is thought to be the oldest wooden structure have been found in Zambia. Professor of Archaeology Lawrence Barham talks about the simple structure made by our ancestors almost 500,000 years ago.

Nina Sosanya has been a regular presence on TV screens since the nineties, quite often portraying hard-working and so seen as “difficult” women, including Jenny in Teachers and now Leigh in Screw. Screw is back for season two, so our Hannah took the chance to get Nina on the Zoom to chat about, well, being on the Zoom, putting the prison uniform back on, those ‘difficult' women and the strikes in America.Jen's chatting to Dr Friederike Otto, senior lecturer in climate science, about climate change and angry weather – which, coincidentally, is also the name of her new book. And in Jenny Off the Blocks, Jen's rightly raging about Rubiales while also redressing the balance.And in Rated or Dated, the team visits a time capsule set in the north (so, spoiler, Mick's delighted), as we watch Sir Tom Courtenay deliver performance magic in 1963 British New Wave classic, Billy Liar.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.

Hitze in Südeuropa, Überschwemmungen in Slowenien: Ist das noch normal oder verschlimmert der Klimawandel nun die Extremwetter?

Der Klimawandel verschärft soziale Ungleichheiten und droht Entwicklungserfolge in unseren Partnerländern zunichte zu machen. Frauen und Mädchen sind davon oft am meisten betroffen. Wie gelingt also ein sozial gerechter Klimaschutz? Wie binden wir Frauen als treibende Kräfte („Agents of Change“) besser ein? Und welche Rolle spielt die Münchener Sicherheitskonferenz in Hinblick auf Klimaschutz? Das diskutieren Bundesentwicklungsministerin Svenja Schulze und Dr. Friederike Otto, Physikerin, Klimatologin am Imperial College London und Sachbuchautorin.

A new report by the World Weather Attribution consortium demonstrates the impact of global warming on flooding in Pakistan. The consortium are helping to assess the link between humanitarian disasters and global change, faster than ever before. The work, conducted by a team of statisticians, climate experts, and local weather experts, is part of an emerging field in science called Extreme Event Attribution, and can reliably provide assessments in the immediate aftermath of an extreme weather event The report follows widescale flooding in Pakistan that has disrupted the lives of over 33 million people. Dr. Friederike Otto from the Grantham Institute for Climate Change explains some of the network's conclusions as to the causes behind this devastating flood. Can it all be down to climate change? Also this week, we speak to Prof Oyewale Tomori of the African Centre of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases, who writes in this week's journal Science about what he believes African countries' role should be in response to the Monkeypox pandemic, and how future academic work in the area should be more homegrown. Finally, psychologist Lynda Boothroyd talks us through a new study about how the arrival of television in people's lives can help shape unhealthy and negative perceptions of body image. The study, conducted in Nicaragua, amongst communities only recently connected to electricity supplies, is helping to show how the media could play a part in contributing to conditions like eating disorders. Laugh and the world laughs with you, or so you might think. But watch any good comedian on TV by yourself and chances are you'll laugh a lot less than if you were sitting in a lively comedy crowd watching the same comedian in the flesh. But why is that? Is there such a thing as herd laughter? And do people from different cultures and corners of the world all laugh at the same things and in the same way? These are questions raised by CrowdScience listener Samuel in Ghana who wonders why he's always cracking up more easily than those around him. Presenter Caroline Steel digs into whether it's our personality, the people around us, or the atmosphere of the room that determines how much we giggle, following neuroscience and ergonomics on a global trail in search of a good laugh.

President Biden has emerged from his Covid isolation and traveled to Kentucky today to visit families hit by catastrophic flooding. This isn't the first time he's traveled to sites hit by extreme weather, but it is the first time he'll be able to tell the people that Washington is about to make its biggest investment ever to tackle rising temperatures. The senate this weekend passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which tackles everything from healthcare to climate, and if it passes the House, it could be on Biden's desk by the end of the week. Former Republican Congressman Bob Inglis now works to get more conservatives to support green energy and joins the show from South Carolina.  Also on the show: climate scientist Friederike Otto; journalist and author John Sweeney (Killer in the Kremlin); NASA administrator Bill Nelson.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

The extreme heat wave in western Europe over the last couple of weeks is just one of many in the Northern Hemisphere in 2022. How is global warming changing the atmosphere to make heat waves more frequent and more intense? We talk to climatologists Hannah Cloke, Friederike Otto and Efi Rousi. If we want to stabilise global warming to two degrees by the end of the century, how are we going to do that? One novel idea is to harness the world's vast railway infrastructure and equip freight and passenger trains with an additional special wagon or two. These extra cars would be designed to suck carbon dioxide out of the air, liquify it and transport it to sequestration sites. Critically all the energy to capture the carbon dioxide comes free from regenerative braking on the trains. University of Toronto chemist Geoff Ozin and Eric Bachman, founder of the start-up CO2 Rail, explain the vision. On the 40th anniversary of the International Whaling Commissions announcing an end to commercial whaling, we hear from Greenpeace co-founder Rex Weyler about the high seas campaign in the 1970s that helped prevent the extinction of the great whales. He talks about the contribution to the cause made by the discovery of whale song, and the release of humpback whale recordings as a commercial disc. And, you have probably experienced an ‘earworm' - a catchy bit of music that plays round and round in your head and won't go away – at least for a short while. But why did it pop up in the first place and how did it get stuck? CrowdScience listener Ryota in Japan wants us to dig into earworms, so presenter Datshiane Navanayagam bravely puts on her headphones to immerse herself in the world of sounds that stick. She meets with a composer of children's songs as well as music psychologists to find out if there is a special formula to creating catchy songs and probes if this musical brain quirk serves any useful purpose. Datshiane then explores whether some people are more prone to catching earworms than others. Finally, for those who find this phenomenon disturbing - she asks is there a good way of getting rid of them? Come join us down the audio wormhole - disclaimer - the BBC is not responsible for any annoying earworms caused by this broadcast.

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K403: About heat waves - Heat Wave Killed Marine Wildlife en Masse   An early estimate points to a huge die-off along the Pacific Coast, and scientists say rivers farther inland are warming to levels that could be lethal for some kinds of salmon. 一項初步估計顯示，（美國）太平洋沿岸海洋生物大量死亡；科學家則說，更內陸的河川的水溫，正升高到恐令某些鮭魚致命的程度。 Dead mussels and clams coated rocks in the Pacific Northwest, their shells gaping open as if they'd been boiled. Sea stars were baked to death. Sockeye salmon swam sluggishly in an overheated Washington river, prompting wildlife officials to truck them to cooler areas. 死掉的淡菜與蛤蜊佈滿西北太平洋沿岸地區的岩石上，牠們的殼有如被煮熟似地張開。海星被活活烤死。紅鉤吻鮭在過熱的華盛頓河中緩慢游動，促使野生動物官員將之載運到較涼爽的區域。 The combination of extraordinary heat and drought that hit the Western United States and Canada over the past two weeks has killed hundreds of millions of marine animals and continues to threaten untold species in freshwater, according to a preliminary estimate and interviews with scientists. 根據一項初步估計以及對科學家所進行的訪談，美加西部過去兩週來慘遭異常高溫與乾旱襲擊，導致數以億計的海洋生物死亡，並持續威脅無數淡水物種。   Next Article   Arctic heatwave could break records 北極熱浪恐破紀錄   Temperatures at the North Pole could be up to 20 degrees higher than average this Christmas Eve. Temperatures are forecast to peak on Christmas Eve around the North Pole - at near-freezing. Climate scientists say these unseasonably warm weather patterns in the Arctic region are directly linked to man-made climate change. 今年耶誕夜的北極氣溫，恐將高出平均溫度達20度。氣溫預報顯示，北極周邊耶誕夜的溫度將升達高峰—接近冰點。氣象科學家說，北極地區這些不合時令的溫暖天氣模式，直接與人為造成的氣候變遷有關。 Temperatures throughout November and December were 5C higher than average. It follows a summer during which Arctic sea ice reached the second-lowest extent ever recorded by satellites. 整個11月與12月的溫度，要比同期平均溫度高出攝氏5度。而在夏季期間，北極海冰的規模達到衛星紀錄以來的第二低程度。 Dr Friederike Otto, a senior researcher at Oxford's Environmental Change Institute said that in pre-industrial times "a heatwave like this would have been extremely rare - we would expect it to occur about every 1,000 years". 牛津大學環境變遷研究所資深研究員奧圖博士說，在工業化前時代「諸如此類的熱浪極為罕見—我們認為大概每1000年才發生一次。」 Dr Otto added that scientists are "very confident" that the weather patterns were linked to anthropogenic climate change. 奧圖博士補充說，科學家「非常確信」該氣溫模式與人為造成的氣候變遷有關。 "We have used several different climate modelling approaches," she said. "And in all our methods, we find the same thing; we cannot model a heatwave like this without the anthropogenic signal." 「我們使用好幾個不同的氣候模型途徑，」她說。「然而在我們的方法中，我們發現相同之處：在缺少人為導因下，我們無法形塑出如此的熱浪。」Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1527294 ; https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/paper/1066371

Seit März 2022 herrscht in Teilen Indiens und Pakistans extreme Hitze. Nun zeigt eine neue Studie unter Federführung von Friederike Otto, Klimatologin am Imperial College London: Der Klimawandel hat diese Hitze viel wahrscheinlicher gemacht.

Global warming made the heavy rains behind South Africa's devastating floods last month twice as likely as they would have been if greenhouse gas emissions had never heated the planet, scientists said on Friday. Flash floods around the east coast city of Durban killed 435 people, left tens of thousands homeless and caused R10-billion worth of damage to roads, power lines, water pipes and one of Africa's busiest ports. The World Weather Attribution group analysed weather data and digital simulations to compare today's climate to that of before the industrial revolution in the late 1800s, when the world was about 1.2°C cooler. "The results showed that an extreme rainfall episode such as this one can now be expected to happen about once every 20 years," a report on the study said. "Without human-caused global warming, such an event would only happen once every 40 years, so it has become about twice as common as a result of greenhouse gas emissions." It added that when extreme downpours do happen, they can be expected to be 4-8% heavier than if no human-induced global warming had occurred. Attributing specific weather events to climate change is a tricky business that deals in probabilities, never certainty. But co-author Friederike Otto, from Imperial College London, said the study had examined data from the wider region, not just Durban. "Looking at the larger region is actually a very meaningful way of assessing the impact of climate change. (The study) means that, in any given year, there is a 5% likelihood of such an event occurring," she told a news conference, versus 2.5% in the absence of global warming. Africa's southeastern coast is on the front line of seaborne weather systems that climate change is making nastier, scientists say. South Africa's tropical northern neighbour Mozambique has suffered multiple cyclones and floods in the past decade, including one in April that killed more than 50 people. "The patterns we see in southern Africa are consistent with what we are seeing elsewhere in the world," Jasper Knight, a geoscientist at Johannesburg's University of Witwatersrand, not involved in the study, told Reuters.

David Wortmann hat sich diese Woche mit Dr. Friederike Otto auf ein Gespräch verabredet. Friederike Otto ist Physikerin und Philosophin, lehrt am Imperial College in London und sie ist Mitbegründerin der Attributionsforschung - einem bedeutsamen neuen Forschungszweig innerhalb der Klimawissenschaften. Friederike Otto forscht mit ihrem Team und Kolleg*innen an der wichtigen Frage, ob einzelne Wetterextreme - wie die Jahrhunderflut im Ahrtal - direkt dem Klimawandel zuzuordnen sind. Die Zurordbarkeit von Wetterereignissen zur Klimakrise ist so wichtig, dass sie vom Time Magazine in die Liste der 100 einflussreichsten Personen 2021 aufgenommen worden ist und laut dem renommierten Fachmagazin Nature als eine von nur zehn Personen herausgehoben wurde, welche die Welt der Wissenschaft im Jahr 2021 besonders geprägt haben. Friederike Otto ist auch eine der Leitautor*innen des 6. Sachstandberichts des Weltklimaberichts IPCC, dessen 3. und letzter Teil zum Zeitpunkt des Gesprächs der internationalen Presse vorgestellt worden ist. Viel Spaß bei dieser Episode von Lets Talk Change. Das nimmst Du mit: 1. Was steht im neuen IPCC Weltklimabericht? 2. Was ist die Attributionsforschung und wie lassen sich einzelne Wetterereignisse denn Klimawandel zuordnen? 3. Welche Klimaextreme drohen konkret Mitteleuropa? 4. Lässt sich der Klimawandel allein mit Technologien bekämpfen? 5. Wie beurteilt die Philosophin Friederike Otto die mangelnde politische Reaktion auf die Klimawissenschaft?

Das Wetter ist extremer geworden, die Dürren und Überschwemmungen sind häufiger geworden. Aber kann man bei jedem Extremwetterereignis gleich sagen: "Das ist die Klimakatastrophe"? Wie hängt der einzelne Waldbrand mit den Klimaveränderungen zusammen? Das hat die Physikerin und Klimatologin Friederike Otto erforscht wie kaum ein zweiter Mensch. Alle Folgen von Terra X - Der Podcast auch als Text-Download in der ZDF-Mediathek: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/terra-x/alle-folgen-terra-x-der-podcast-100.html Kennt Ihr auch unseren Podcast Terra X Geschichte mit Mirko Drotschmann? Auch den findet Ihr bei Eurem Podcastportal der Wahl und in der Mediathek.

"Das Klima”, der Podcast zur Wissenschaft hinter der Krise. Wir lesen den aktuellen Bericht des Weltklimarats und erklären den aktuellen Stand der Klimaforschung. Kapitel 11 des IPCC-Berichts handelt vom Wetter. Insbesondere vom extremen Wetter und der Frage, wie sehr sich die Extremwetterereignisse durch den Klimawandel verändern werden. Dazu braucht man die “Attributionsforschung” und zum Glück haben wir eine der Autorinnen des Kapitels zu Gast, die auch noch eine der Pionierinnen auf diesem Gebiet ist: Friederike Otto erklärt uns ausführlich, mit welchen Extremwetterereignissen wir rechnen müssen, was die Politik mit der Attributionsforschung zu tun hat und warum es keine Naturkatastrophen gibt.

"Das Klima”, der Podcast zur Wissenschaft hinter der Krise. Wir lesen den aktuellen Bericht des Weltklimarats und erklären den aktuellen Stand der Klimaforschung. Kapitel 11 des IPCC-Berichts handelt vom Wetter. Insbesondere vom extremen Wetter und der Frage, wie sehr sich die Extremwetterereignisse durch den Klimawandel verändern werden. Dazu braucht man die “Attributionsforschung” und zum Glück haben wir eine der Autorinnen des Kapitels zu Gast, die auch noch eine der Pionierinnen auf diesem Gebiet ist: Friederike Otto erklärt uns ausführlich, wie der Klimawandel das Extremwetter beeinflusst, wie Attributionsforschung eigentlich funktioniert und was es mit der sehr, sehr langen Tabelle in Kapitel 11 auf sich hat.

Friederike Otto zählt laut dem Wissenschaftsmagazin Nature zu den zehn wichtigsten Wissenschaftler*innen von 2021. Das Magazin kürt jedes Jahr zehn Menschen, die – nach Meinung des Magazins – maßgebliche Forschung weltweit leisten. Nun ist wieder eine aktuelle Liste veröffentlicht worden.

Wéi een Undeel huet de Klimawandel un eenzelen extreeme Wiederphenomeener? Déi däitsch Physikerin a Philosophin ass eng Pionéierin vun dëser neier Fuerschungsbranche. Am Gespréich mam Pia Oppel erkläert d'Fuerscherin um Londoner Imperial College, wat déi sougenannt "Attributiounswëssenschaft" ka leeschten - a wat si sech vum UN-Klimasommet erwaart.

Wie eine Detektivin arbeitet sie, und wenn sie über ihre Forschungen berichtet, klingt das manchmal wie in einem Krimi: Dr. Friederike Otto ist Klimawissenschaftlerin, sie leitet das "Environmental Change Institute" der Universität Oxford. Mit einem kleinen Team erforscht sie, wie der Klimawandel sich auf unser tägliches Wetter auswirkt. (Wdh. vom 11.03.2021)

Extreme weather events are on the rise. Are these events connected? Are they becoming more likely with global warming? What does science say about extreme weather events? In the new episode of the podcast ‘Sustain Ability. The Potsdam Dialogues - Science for a Safe Tomorrow', experts Friederike Otto and Stefan Rahmstorf give insight into their latest research. They discuss attribution science, economic costs of extreme events, the art of communicating science - and what keeps them going in their personal scientific chasing of extreme weather events.

For decades, scientists have warned that unchecked global warming could bring climate extremes such as severe droughts, flash floods and rising sea levels. We talk to three climate change experts on how predictions of a changing world are holding up against the reality we're living through. Featuring Christopher White, head of the Centre for Water, Environment, Sustainability and Public Health at the University of Strathclyde in the UK, Victor Ongoma Assistant Professor, at Université Mohammed VI Polytechnique in Morocco, and Kewei Lyu a postdoctoral researcher in ocean and climate at CSIRO in Australia.And Justin Bergman, deputy politics editor at The Conversation in Melbourne, Australia, recommends some recent analysis of the fallout from the recent AUKUS defence pact.The Conversation Weekly is produced by Mend Mariwany and Gemma Ware, with sound design by Eloise Stevens.

Earlier this month, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) released the first part of its Sixth Assessment Report on the state of climate change globally. The report relies on advanced climate modeling to illustrate where global warming is headed. In this installment of Model Talk on the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, Nate Silver and Galen Druke are joined by two climate modelers and authors of the latest IPCC report, Friederike Otto and Baylor Fox-Kemper.

The world's largest ever report into climate change is published, setting out the stark reality of the state of the planet. The report "is a code red for humanity", says the UN chief. One of the report authors, Dr Friederike Otto, told Newshour that climate change's tipping point is a decade earlier but urgent actions could help reverse. Also in the programme: Taliban captures sixth Afghanistan provincial capital; and Russia's longtime human rights defender Sergei Kovalev dies.

Gemeinsam mit Friederike Otto und ihrer Sturmtruppe der "World Weather Attribution" gehen wir diese Woche dem wütenden Wetter auf den Grund. Anstatt einfach nur einen reißerischen Post zu teilen, nehmen wir uns ein Beispiel an der Autorin und versuchen euch wirkliches Expertenwissen näher zu bringen. Zusätzlich liefern wir euch ein paar coole Tipps für heiße Sommertage. Für alle, denen ein Like verteilen im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel noch nicht aktiv genug ist: https://www.climateprediction.net/

Gina McCarthy, White House National Climate Adviser, joins Bianna Golodryga to discuss the EU's new bold climate plan, the heatwave sweeping across America and why she believes climate change is not a partisan issue. Continuing our conversation about the climate crisis, Friederike Otto, Associate Director of the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford, talks about her groundbreaking 9-day study which found that the heatwave that hit the Pacific Northwest and Canada last month would have been impossible without human-caused climate change. Then Gary Ginsberg, author of the book "First Friends," explains how U.S. presidents have leaned on their friends during crucial times — for better or worse. And finally, we look back on one of our favorite interviews with music icon Cher. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Was müssen wir jetzt auf bilateraler und multilateraler Ebene tun, um den Klimaschutz voranzutreiben und die Ziele des Pariser Abkommens umzusetzen? Darüber sprechen Anna Comino, Referentin für Klimaschutz, und Dr. Olaf Kranz, Leiter der Wissenschaftsabteilung der Botschaft, mit Dr. Friederike Otto. Sie ist Klimaforscherin, Geschäftsführerin des Environmental Change Institute an der Universität Oxford, Sachbuchautorin (Wütendes Wetter) und eine der Leitautorinnen des demnächst erscheinenden Sechsten Weltklimaberichts. Wir sprechen mit Friederike Otto über die Kommunikation wissenschaftlicher Sachverhalte und interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit, über die Rolle der Wissenschaft im Vorfeld politischer Konferenzen und darüber, dass Entscheidungsträger:innen mutig sein müssen, um Veränderungen für eine bessere Zukunft anzuregen.

Das Jahr 2021 könnte zum „Game Changer“ im globalen Kampf gegen den Klimawandel werden. Die USA, Europa und auch China haben sich ehrgeizige Emissionsziele gesetzt und die nächste UN-Klimakonferenz verspricht ein großer Erfolg zu werden. Gleichzeitig schreitet die Erwärmung der Atmosphäre unaufhörlich voran. Von den Zielen des Pariser Abkommens entfernen wir uns immer weiter. Friederike Otto, renommierte Klimaforscherin an der Universität Oxford, zeigt auf warum viele Extremwetterereignisse der jüngsten Vergangenheit schon längst ein Resultat des Klimawandels sind. Claudia Kemfert, Deutschlands bekannteste Klimaökonomin, ist überzeugt: Netto-Null Emissionen sind möglich – aber nur wenn jetzt die richtigen politischen Entscheidungen getroffen werden.

It's launch week of Sky News ClimateCast! For our debut episode Anna Jones is joined by correspondent Katerina Vittozzi to discuss public awareness of climate change.They're joined by renowned climate scientist Dr Friederike Otto to discuss how the changing climate is affecting weather patterns at home and abroad.How do we solve the problem? They've got (some) answers!Plus, catch up on other climate news making the headlines this week.

In einigen Teilen Deutschlands ist es gerade extrem kalt, davor hat es vielerorts wochenlang geschüttet und im Sommer war es zu heiß. Im F.A.Z. Podcast für Deutschland geht es heute um Wetterextreme und die Frage, ob wir nach so viel Wasser gerüstet sind für den Sommer. Und wir besprechen mit Klimaforscherin Friederike Otto, wie der Klimawandel das Wetter beeinflusst.

Not only has this year been one of the hottest on record, but there has also been a catalogue of record breaking extreme weather events. From the unprecedented bush fires in Australia to the most active Atlantic hurricane season on record, we pick apart how climate change is impacting weather systems and the lives of millions of people around the world. Justin Rowlatt, the BBC's Chief Environment Correspondent, and Navin Singh Khadkha, the multi-lingual environment correspondent for the BBC's World Service, are joined by Dr Friederike Otto, associate director of the Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford, and an associate professor in the Global Climate Science Programme; Prof Adam Scaife, the head of long range forecasting at the UK's Met Office; and Laura Meller, a Greenpeace spokeswoman on board their ship the Arctic Sunrise.

Extremväder kan kopplas direkt till utsläpp av växthusgaser. I första avsnittet av Klimathjärnorna intervjuar SvD:s Peter Alestig klimatologen Friederike Otto, som har bevisat att klimatförändringen inte är ett avlägset hot – utan något som sker här och nu.

Green Pulse Ep 34: The climate change detectives 20:49 mins Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. Every year we seem to be facing more and more extreme weather events. This year, it's been fires in Australia, Siberia and now the US West Coast. Record floods have caused havoc in China, while polar ice caps are melting faster. But can we link individual events to climate change? In this episode, ST's environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty speak with climate scientist Friederike Otto, who is the acting director of the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford, and co-lead of World Weather Attribution, an international effort to analyse and communicate the possible influence of climate change on extreme weather events.

An important consequence of the warming of the planet due to climate change is that the frequency and/or severity of extreme weather events will increase. But how can we tell whether a particular event can be attributed to the changing climate? Would it have happened in "normal" climate as well, and if so, how would the event have been different? This aspect of climate science is called attribution science, and the guest of this episode, Friederike Otto is a pioneer in the field.

Ignorantes Klima - sind wir noch zu retten? Das Wetter wird immer extremer: Hitzewellen, Dürren, Stürme und Hochwasser begleiten vor allem die Sommermonate. Sind das nur Wetterphänomene oder Zeichen des Klimawandels? Und wer sind eigentlich die Schuldigen? Länder und Regierungen, Wirtschaft und Kapitalismus – oder doch jeder Einzelne von uns? Diese Fragen versucht Physikerin und Philosophin Friederike Otto in ihrem aktuellen Buch „Wütendes Wetter“ zu beantworten. Sie ist stellvertretende Direktorin des "Environmental Change Institute" in Oxford und untersucht Wetterphänomene. Vor fünf Jahren hat sie die neue wissenschaftliche Ausrichtung Attribution Science – zu Deutsch: „Zuordnungswissenschaft” – mitbegründet. Ihre Methodik beruht darauf, die reale Welt mit einer heilen Parallelwelt ohne Treibhauseffekt zu vergleichen und so die Ursachen für einzelne Wetterphänomene bestimmen zu können. Und das mit eindeutigen Ergebnissen. Friederike Otto sagt: „Eine Hitzewelle wie in Deutschland 2018 ist durch den Klimawandel mindestens doppelt so wahrscheinlich geworden wie früher“. Ihr Ziel: Politiker müssen den menschengemachten Klimawandel anerkennen und sich ihrer Verantwortung im Umgang mit der Klimakrise stellen. Jakob Augstein diskutiert mit Friederike Otto über Klimapolitik, realisierbare Utopien, Protestkultur und das Wetter Das Gespräch wurde am 16. September 2019 im Grünen Salon der Berliner Volksbühne aufgezeichnet.
