Hence the question, what will tomorrow's climate disasters look like? To answer it, we welcome Davide Faranda, climatologist and physicist by training, CNRS research director, his research focuses on the links between extreme climate events and climate change. He is particularly interested in natural disasters and their link with climate change. Davide Faranda returns to the danger of climate disasters with this question: is the worst yet to come? Will extreme climate events, beyond a warming threshold, prevent us from adapting? Interview conducted by Maxime Thuillez at the Climate Academy CHAPTERS 00:00 - Excerpts 01:09 - Introduction 02:31 - The science of attribution 04:09 - Climate ONVIs?

In this interview, Davide Faranda returns to the link between climate change and climate disasters. Natural disasters such as fires, floods or hurricanes are boosted by the increase in temperatures resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels. What will our planet look like in a few years? Is the worst yet to come? Will hurricanes hit Europe? Will heat waves kill millions of people? Will floods become a daily occurrence?
