GC Insights: Communicating changes in local climate risk using a physically plausible causal chain

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Directly linking greenhouse gas emissions or global warming to experiences of local climatic changes or extreme events is a potentially important communication tool. We develop a physically plausible ‘causal chain’ as one approach to demonstrate the connections between global carbon dioxide emissions and real-life events, using a case study of flood risk in one river basin in the UK.
