The relatively young science of extreme event attribution seeks to tease out the influence of human-cause climate change from other factors, such as natural sources of variability like El Niño, as contributors to individual extreme events. This report examines the current state of science of extreme weather attribution, and identifies ways to move the science forward to improve attribution capabilities.
