Original: What is attribution science? The critical climate research that Big Oil would rather you didn't believe in https://www.f

Attribution science, the field that links specific extreme weather events and damages to fossil fuel emissions, is being explained in a new piece highlighting its growing role in climate litigation. The field is increasingly used in lawsuits against oil companies, which is why industry-funded skepticism targets it. Supporters call it critical evidence; critics funded by fossil fuel interests dispute its findings.

Why now: Attribution science is central to ongoing climate lawsuits against oil companies, keeping the debate over its credibility active.
