Weather extremes caused by climate change?
Read a recent article on climate extremes and climate change; a concluding paragraph struck me as particularly useful in responding to the commonly asked question posed in the subject line, and I thought I'd share it:

It looks like the announcement for a competitive follow-up to the CCCAI projects is available on Grants.gov:…

The goal is to provide actionable recommendations and guidance on the best approaches to reduce adverse impacts from hazards and disasters.
They are asking for help to find out more about communities through a short questionnaire.

Tropical upper atmosphere 'fingerprint' of global warming
The winds of the quasibiennial oscillation in the tropical upper atmosphere have greatly weakened at some altitudes over the last six decades, according to a new study. The finding is consistent with computer model projections of how the upper atmosphere responds to global warming induced by increased greenhouse gas concentrations.Carbon capture: Making use of minerals
