This lecture explains how we estimate the anthropogenic contribution to the observed increase in global average temperature, aiming to counter the popular misconceptions that this evidence depends either on complex climate models or on indirect observations of past climate based on tree-rings and ice-cores. We’ll discuss how rising global temperatures affect the probability of extreme weather events, and what this might mean for the attribution of harm to past emissions.
