2. Greenhouse effect - Expert video: Consequences

In this video, the speaker starts by explaining the link between the increase in global average temperature and the increase in frequency and intensity of heat extremes. Then, the consequences of global warming on a broader spectrum of extreme events (hurricanes, wildfires, droughts,...) are explored in an interview with climate scientist Kerry Emanuel (MIT, Massachusetts). The scientist also emphasizes an important point: to establish a link between global warming and changes in the frequency/intensity of extreme weather events, one must rely on statistics (over several years or decades), not on the occurrence of an isolated extreme event.
