Why is this heat wave from climate change but past heat waves were not?
Is every temperature anomaly caused by climate change?
- swader999 5y agoNo, its just weather. The smallest time window for climate is 30 years of weather and you need more of course to find trends.

So if you have N heat waves this decade while you had M<N heat waves 50 years ago in a decade then you can say that about N-M of these were causes by the climate change. But I'm pretty sure you know that. However, people seem to have demonstrated a lack of ability (or will) to understand the climate change based on the long term stats, so some think that maybe the individual events help these people understand (or accept) the reality.
- pvaldes 5y ago> Why is this heat wave from climate change but past heat waves were not? (If I'm not wrong), is a new record for the area so is the highest heat wave reported past or present. Is a new situation. > Is every temperature anomaly caused by climate change? Not, but if climate change predicts extreme temperatures, and you start having extreme temperatures, higher and higher each year, maybe we should pay more attention to the pattern.
