Aurélien Ribes, a researcher at Météo France, discusses what global warming is attributed to in this video (13’27). He shows which factors are responsible for the recent average changes in temperatures, both in France and around the world. He then explains, using a model and an example, how attribution studies take place for a given extreme event, like a heatwave.

Learning Objectives:
- Understand what climate change attribution studies are
- Find out the factors leading to the recent changes in the world’s average temperature
- Carry out a study on climate change attribution for a given extreme event
