OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
