Climate change can at most push the odds a little bit in one direction,” Adam Lobel, director of Columbia University's Initiative on Extreme Weather, said in \u003ca href=\"http://www.wnyc.org/story/global-warmings-role-hurricane-harvey/\">an interview with The Takeaway\u003c/a> radio show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When extreme weather events are directly linked to temperature, he said, it becomes easier to make connection to climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Almost any heat wave that happens on the earth now can be said to be more probable as a result of global warming,\" he said. \"Heavy rain events are not quite that simple but they’re not that much more complicated because the relationship of water vapor to temperature is pretty basic physics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of evidence, climate change still remains a highly politicized issue in the U.S., often falling along partisan lines, with key members of the Trump administration and various other Republican leaders downplaying its significance, or in some cases, denying its existence altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mediamatters.org/video/2017/08/29/breitbart-radio-host-pushes-trump-s-epa-chief-deny-link-between-hurricane-harvey-and-climate-change/217797\">Interviewed in the wake of Harvey,\u003c/a> Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt told Breitbart News that the media was being “opportunistic” in linking Hurricane Harvey to climate change. It was doing so, he said, “without basis or support, just to simply engage in a cause and effect type of discussion, and not focus upon the needs of people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a statement that still appears on his own agency’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/weather-climate\">website\u003c/a>, (written under the previous administration) offers a different take: “[R]ising global average temperature is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns. Scientific studies indicate that extreme weather events such as heat waves and large storms are likely to become more frequent or more intense with human-induced climate change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pruitt's sentiment, though, was echoed by a number of conservative policy organizations who were quick to question any link between major storms like Harvey and climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is unfortunate, but not surprising, that the left is exploiting Hurricane Harvey to try and advance their political agenda, but it won’t work,\" Thomas Pyle, president of the \u003ca href=\"http://instituteforenergyresearch.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Institute for Energy Research\u003c/a>, who led Trump’s transition team for the Department of Energy, told the Guardian. “When everything is a problem related to climate change, the solutions no longer become attainable. That is their fundamental problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To this argument, Adam Lobel of Columbia counters that those who insist it’s not the right time to bring up climate change are the people who never want to talk about it, particularly conservative political leaders. He notes recent efforts by the Trump administration to rescind Obama-era climate change policies, including a withdrawal from the Paris climate accord and the rollback of regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think this is exactly the right time. It’s the only time the media will pay attention to the issue … And so this is a moment when people see the potential consequences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following interactive map, produced by the British organization \u003ca href=\"https://www.carbonbrief.org/mapped-how-climate-change-affects-extreme-weather-around-the-world?utm_content=bufferdb0ec&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer\">Carbon Brief\u003c/a> (and embedded with permission), shows 144 extreme weather events around the world that scientists published studies about in peer-reviewed journals.

Climate change can at most push the odds a little bit in one direction,” Adam Lobel, director of Columbia University's Initiative on Extreme Weather, said in \u003ca href=\"http://www.wnyc.org/story/global-warmings-role-hurricane-harvey/\">an interview with The Takeaway\u003c/a> radio show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When extreme weather events are directly linked to temperature, he said, it becomes easier to make connection to climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Almost any heat wave that happens on the earth now can be said to be more probable as a result of global warming,\" he said. \"Heavy rain events are not quite that simple but they’re not that much more complicated because the relationship of water vapor to temperature is pretty basic physics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of evidence, climate change still remains a highly politicized issue in the U.S., often falling along partisan lines, with key members of the Trump administration and various other Republican leaders downplaying its significance, or in some cases, denying its existence altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mediamatters.org/video/2017/08/29/breitbart-radio-host-pushes-trump-s-epa-chief-deny-link-between-hurricane-harvey-and-climate-change/217797\">Interviewed in the wake of Harvey,\u003c/a> Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt told Breitbart News that the media was being “opportunistic” in linking Hurricane Harvey to climate change. It was doing so, he said, “without basis or support, just to simply engage in a cause and effect type of discussion, and not focus upon the needs of people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a statement that still appears on his own agency’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/weather-climate\">website\u003c/a>, (written under the previous administration) offers a different take: “[R]ising global average temperature is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns. Scientific studies indicate that extreme weather events such as heat waves and large storms are likely to become more frequent or more intense with human-induced climate change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pruitt's sentiment, though, was echoed by a number of conservative policy organizations who were quick to question any link between major storms like Harvey and climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is unfortunate, but not surprising, that the left is exploiting Hurricane Harvey to try and advance their political agenda, but it won’t work,\" Thomas Pyle, president of the \u003ca href=\"http://instituteforenergyresearch.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Institute for Energy Research\u003c/a>, who led Trump’s transition team for the Department of Energy, told the Guardian. “When everything is a problem related to climate change, the solutions no longer become attainable. That is their fundamental problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To this argument, Adam Lobel of Columbia counters that those who insist it’s not the right time to bring up climate change are the people who never want to talk about it, particularly conservative political leaders. He notes recent efforts by the Trump administration to rescind Obama-era climate change policies, including a withdrawal from the Paris climate accord and the rollback of regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think this is exactly the right time.
