Scientists link catastrophic landslide to human-caused climate change

Original: Scientists make worrisome connection between catastrophic landslide event and human activity — here's what you should kn

Researchers say a catastrophic landslide was connected to human activity, with a World Weather Attribution study finding heavy one-day rainfall events have become about 17% more intense over the past 45 years. The findings suggest rising emissions are increasing the likelihood of extreme rainfall that can trigger deadly slope failures, prompting calls for better land management and preparedness.

Why now: New attribution research tying a destructive landslide to climate change is drawing attention to the growing human role in extreme weather disasters.
