One looked at the historical temperature record and compared how often such severe heat waves occurred a century ago versus today using 3 - day averages; the other used climate models that simulate a world with and without warming to see how the odds of such an event shifted.

To define an event after it has occurred, such as the simultaneous Russian heat and cold waves in summer 2010, and then post hoc to try to develop a probability model for it that you might have had (had you thought of it in advance), is nearly always a hopeless enterprise.

I would suggest comparing peak to peak average temperature captures during weighted El - Nino events (during the time they occur, if they can be compared equally this would be a telling graph), instead of considering year to year records as a means of reducing ENSO effects on the temperature record, ENSO being largely a heat exchange between air and sea causing great changes in cloud distribution world wide.

The reality of global warming is that events such as the Russian heat wave occur more frequently.

The second point is that we have found distinctive variations in global warming with El Niño: a mini global warming, in the sense of a global temperature increase, occurs in the latter stages of an El Niño event, as heat comes out of the ocean and warms the atmosphere.

RiHo08 says (28) «Since the recent heat wave and peat bog fires in Russia this summer have been used as evidence of an extreme weather event in response to global climate change, I thought a llterary reference to such events occurring periodically at least to the 12 th Century would be informative.»

The piece ignores the broader context in which all manner of contributing factors is assessed to understand the magnitude of events, their temporal and regional specificity (e.g., why did the heat wave happen over Texas (rather than Washington), why did it occur in 2011 (and not 2009, or next year), and why did it break the previous records by a factor of 2.

Since the recent heat wave and peat bog fires in Russia this summer have been used as evidence of an extreme weather event in response to global climate change, I thought a llterary reference to such events occurring periodically at least to the 12 th Century would be informative.

This means that when a heat wave occurs, it is safe to assume that global warming did have some impact on the event.

Storms and extreme rainfall events have always happened, but with the added heat in the atmosphere and oceans due to greenhouse gas emissions, storms now occur with increasing accumulated energy and higher moisture loading.

Since stipulated a sudden event rather than constant undersea eruptions are occurring all the time, we assume fast transition of heat from ocean floor to surface.

In our analysis, most stories that mentioned health threats were in reaction to naturally occurring events such as heat waves or storms; we found few examples of enterprise or explanatory reporting.

[2] A 2018 study found a near - zero probability for an Arctic heat event as extreme as 2016's occurring in the absence of human - caused climate change.

The majority of storm or anomalies of weather occur with the movement of heat and cold to different areas which then generate events either not seen before or more violent.

«Analysis of observations indicate that this heat wave was mainly due to internal atmospheric dynamical processes that produced and maintained a strong and long - lived blocking event, and that similar atmospheric patterns have occurred with prior heat waves in this region.

Fig. 2 gives an example of a QRA − HPA event that began as a QRA event with 10 August 2012 as the central date, followed, with a lag of 5 d, by an HPA event during the strong heat waves in the western and eastern United States, accompanied by severe flooding in the central United States that occurred simultaneously with destructive flooding in central China and severe droughts in eastern and western China (44).

The record heat and melting coincided with a massive calving event at Petermann Glacier, which also occurred in mid July.

Extreme events, such as floods, droughts, and heat waves, especially when occurring in a series, can significantly erode poor people's assets and further undermine their livelihoods in terms of labor productivity, housing, infrastructure, and social networks.

The model projected that within the next 30 - 60 years, the number of days U.S. heat waves last will have increased by a factor of 1.2 to nearly 2 times in comparison to similar events occurring between 1970 - 2000.

In 2009 — 10, another ENSO - driven heat stress event occurred in the Gilbert Islands, with heat stress peaking in December.

Scientists project that extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, blizzards and rainstorms will continue to occur more often and with greater intensity due to global warming, according to Climate Central.

Extreme weather and climate events include heat waves, droughts, floods, hurricanes, blizzards, and other events that occur rarely.

It is also widely agreed that the world has seen a spate of extreme heat events in recent years, such as the 2011 Texas heat wave and drought and the deadly 2010 heat wave in Russia, and that global warming made some of these events more likely to occur and more severe.

However, they also found that the warming trend had caused a three-fold increase in the likelihood that the heat record would be broken (Figure 2); in that sense «supporting the assertion that the risk of the event occurring was mainly attributable to the external trend.»

Right now it seems that: It's more likely that Summer Arctic Sea Ice extent will disappear before 2025 It's more likely that 2 C will occur nearer to 2033 than 2040 It's more likely that 4 C will occur closer to 2050 than 2100 It's more likely that more people will die from heat stress, disease, or severe clean water and food shortages than extreme weather events.

Climate models have also successfully predicted many climatic events we are already experiencing — extreme events, like 100 - year floods occurring twice within 15 years, or the extended heat waves that have killed hundreds of thousands of people and uncountable wild animals and plants.

For example, analyses show that in high - population regions, e.g. Central Africa, India and Europe, an additional 10 - 20 days of heat events can occur on average every year.
