    There’s growing evidence that people and the planet are increasingly impacted by extreme events. According to the Fourth National Climate Assessment, published in 2018 by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, “more frequent and intense extreme weather and climate-related events, as well as changes in average climate conditions, are expected to continue to damage infrastructure, ecosystems, and social systems that provide essential benefits to communities.”
      As the impacts of extreme events continue to mount, interest has grown in the scientific community to study whether specific extreme events can be partially attributed to human activities. With the help of climate models, scientists have conducted an impressive array of studies, looking for possible links between human activities and extreme events such as heat waves, rainfall and flooding events, droughts, storms, and wildfires. Increasingly, they’re able to draw robust connections.

    Essa questão é uma pegadinha interessante: Experts predict an abrupt change in climate conditions due to continually harmful human activities. Especialistas preveem uma mudança abrupta nas condições de mudanças climáticas devido as continuas atividades danosas feitas pelo homem (tradução livre).

    Ora na verdade os especialistas estão prevendo o agravamento de padrões extremos de clima e a continuidade desses eventos extremos e não uma mudança abrupta.

    ... “more frequent and intense extreme weather and climate-related events, as well as changes in average climate conditions, are expected to continue to damage infrastructure, ecosystems, and social systems that provide essential benefits to communities.”
