[Dr Friederike Otto @FrediOtto]

A bit more serious than we usually are but still very excited to finally have done a video with @ClimateAdam!!

[Hot Mess • PBS @HotMessPBS]

NEW VIDEO! We know that climate change is making extreme weather even more extreme, but how do scientists actually figure that out? Guest host @ClimateAdam explains: https://t.co/ca6sQMrjPL

💬From the global north’s vantage point, the #ClimateCrisis [...] has long been seen as a distant threat.

This misconception has perpetuated a false sense of security."

Dr @FrediOtto explains why so many died in the #SpainFloods for the @guardian: https://t.co/MaRCLGRTPo

[World Weather Attribution @WWAttribution]

World Weather Attribution turns 10 today 🎉

To mark the occasion, we've launched our study tracker – an interactive tool to explore our analyses on extreme weather events around the world.

[The BREAK–DOWN @break_downradio]

While eastern US states are still reeling from the devastation left by Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton, which is looking to be even *more* powerful, is quickly approaching.

Our episode w/ Dr. Fredi Otto breaks down how climate change is impacting the risk of extreme weather.

[Grantham Institute Imperial @Grantham_IC]

Join the Grantham Institute's Dr @FrediOtto & meteorologist for ITV (and previously the BBC) @Lauratobin1 to explore how the climate crisis is warping & intensifying weather in the UK & around the world.

Deadly rainfall in Central Europe twice as likely due to our continued burning of fossil fuels - @WWAttribution study. Early warning meant deaths were avoided, but plans to strengthen flood defences have been implemented way too slowly.

[German Embassy London @GermanEmbassy]

At our London Climate Talk, in cooperation with @commonwealthsec, @FrediOtto, @KattumuriRuth and @daisydunnesci will discuss extreme weather and its implications on small islands and developing countries.

Climate change & aging infrastructure turn drought in Sicily & Sardinia into a disaster - new @WWAttribution study https://t.co/rAAb34app7

[Olivia Serdeczny @SerdecznyOlivia]

We know enough about how human-made climate change influences extreme events to inform #lossanddamage funding decisions. No need for data we know is scarce. New Perspective led by @DimCoumou, with brains like @FrediOtto and @drfahadsaeed joining forces. https://t.co/ptBOGaRwXF

[Dr Friederike Otto @FrediOtto]

Wind speeds, associated rainfall and surrounding conditions of typhoon Gaemi all made worse by climate change, new @WWAttribution study finds. https://t.co/6IKORwGsNY our most comprehensive tropical cyclone study so far. Early warnings & refuge needs to be accessible to all.

[Dr Friederike Otto @FrediOtto]

Our continued burning of fossil fuels drives drying of the Pantanal, leading to more severe fire conditions, destroying countless flora & fauna in the world’s largest tropical wetlands https://t.co/VmrKrmiL97

[Luisa Neubauer @Luisamneubauer]

Können wir bitte über #Borkum reden? Wie kann es sein, dass in 2024 dort ein neues (!) Gasfeld eröffnet werden soll, möglich gemacht von @spdde und @Die_Gruenen?!

Jeden Tag könnten die finalen Genehmigungen kommen, es wäre ein Desaster. Klimapolitisch, ökologisch, international.

Dear @Keir_Starmer, congratulations. We hope you're settling into your new job💼

Here’s a quick update on the state of the #Climate from @FrediOtto, climate scientist at @Grantham_IC & @WWAttribution to set the scene for the next five years of government 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@CBhattacharji @cherry_weed @MajaVahlberg @RoopSingh @ZachariahMariam @clairrbarnes @izpinto We've done three studies on extreme heat in India, in three years. While the exact numbers always differ a bit, the message is clear: Burning of fossil fuels has caused extreme heat in India to become much more likely (30-50 times) - https://t.co/cRcz5ygRqw & from 2023 & 2022.

[Dr Friederike Otto @FrediOtto]

Deadly heat that would have been very rare without climate change & even relatively rare just 20 years ago, now common event due to continued increase in emissions from burning fossil fuels. We now this is happening, but we are not prepared. https://t.co/M93eB8TiIu

[Dr Friederike Otto @FrediOtto]

Reviewing her new book, I agree with Solomon, the climate crisis is solvable. But her example "solution", waiting for the same industries to find substitutes to make even more money without the slightest change in the status quo, is not how.

[Dr Friederike Otto @FrediOtto]

increasingly heavy rainfall hit one of the most vulnerable countries, Afghanistan, hard in April and May - killing more than 500 and affecting thousands of displaced people fleeing from conflict, to have to flee again from extreme weather. https://t.co/HlcJhWHMiY

We get so unbelieveably excited about the tiniest bit of water on other planets, and yet we are so terrible at caring for water on Earth.

🎓 Last week I was in full cheerleading mode for my incredible sister @FrediOtto, who received an honorary doctorate from @Concordia in Montreal!

🏙️ And in between official events, we had so much fun exploring the city 😎 @MTL_Ville

It has been wonderful to host these amazing climate scientists and international law colleagues in Copenhagen! @COPE_KU @UCPH_Research @CLIMA_UCPH
