Pinning extreme weather on climate change: Best ideas of the century

In January 2003, physicist Myles Allen watched as floodwaters from the Thames river threatened to seep into his home in Oxford, UK. He wanted to know why meteorologists at the time were refusing to blame climate change for the event. Later that year, Peter Stott, a climate scientist at the UK’s Met Office, arrived in Italy for a summer holiday. But instead of a week of ice cream and beach reads, Stott found himself trapped in one of the longest, deadliest heatwaves in European history.

At the time, most research focused on stabilising the number of greenhouse gas molecules in the atmosphere to prevent dangerous climate change. But scientists were struggling to figure out how much the world would warm at a fixed level of greenhouse gas concentration.

In the first decade of the 21st century, most scientists and policy-makers were focused on 2°C as being the highest “safe” threshold for warming above pre-industrial levels. But emerging research was beginning to suggest that even this was too severe, threatening sea level rise that would wipe out low-lying islands. In response, some scientists began to investigate the benefits of keeping any temperature rise closer to 1.5°C.
