The events we have experienced in recent years provide important
information about our vulnerability to extreme weather, the human and
economic costs that could result, and most importantly, actions we can
take today to minimize the risks of more frequent extreme weather
events. This information is useful regardless of why any particular
event happened and whether climate change made it worse or not. The
often asked question about whether climate change caused a particular
weather event cannot be answered definitively.
