Part of the -- you know, the challenge here, of course, is to run these climate models at higher resolutions. where we start to capture some of those features that are missing. and climate modelers are working on that. and we need, of course, the resources to do that. >> of course, but i mean, we are sitting here talking about this endless procession of weather events tied to climate change. and there are, still, so many people who are climate-change deniers. what is your message to them? >> yeah. well, you know, look. um, the impacts of climate change are no longer subtle. we are seeing them,...

Enough to snap trees. the climate crisis will cause more deadly, extreme weather but they are surprised that heat and rain records are being broken by such large margins right now. michael mann is the professor of atmospheric science at penn state university. he also wrote "the new climate war, the fight to take back our planet." professor mann says the climate change models we are using are outdated and in his words underestimate the magnitude of the impact of climate change on tr extreme-weather events. professor mann joins me, now. thank you for being here with us. what's wrong with the cur...

Elaborate on that. explain that. >> i mean, not to be contrarian but i'm not sure it the calculus that much by virtue of the fact that there's been so much obstructions to the idea that these events are linked to climate change. this idea of climate change i don't think actually moved any votes but it should have. we're seeing all these things is flooding or extreme heat waves in the pacific northwest. the drought that's affecting the west and the part of the united states. all of these things are exactly with the climate models have long said will happen as you get more carbon dioxide in the ...

Is always a combination of long—term climate change and so, you cannot attribute a single thing exclusively, but there are many indications that climate change played a role in this. warmer air can hold more water and moisture, extreme precipitation can significantly increase the price and recent decades. —— across. and they're actually high—resolution precipitation data growing which is quite unique and the resolution showing that it is extreme precipitation and events have indeed increased considerably over the last a0 years. in climate models also said this would increase in the fut...
