Are stronger typhoons caused by humans? A new global network of climate scientists hope to provide the answers in real-time.
In recent years, scientists have become more adept at working out whether climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions is exacerbating wild weather and its impacts around the world, but the task usually takes months. Now, a network of climate experts are hoping to tell the world almost in real-time whether global warming has a hand in extreme weather thanks to an initiative they plan to launch by the end of 2015.
