X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Our 12th selection is <em>Angry weather: h
 eat waves\, floods\, storms\, and the new science of climate change</em>&n
 bsp\;by Friederike Otto.</p>\n<p><br /><strong>FROM CATALOG</strong></p>\n
 <p>Massive fires\, widespread floods\, Category 4 hurricanes--shocking wea
 ther disasters dominate news headlines every year\, but not everyone agree
 s on what causes them.</p>\n<p>Renowned University of Oxford researcher Fr
 iederike Otto provides an answer with attribution science\, a revolutionar
 y method for pinpointing the role of climate change in extreme weather eve
 nts. Anchoring her book with the gripping\, day-by-day story of Hurricane 
 Harvey\, which caused over a hundred deaths and $125 billion in damage in 
 2017\, Otto reveals how attribution science works in real time\, and deter
 mines that Harvey's terrifying floods were three times more likely to occu
 r due to human-induced climate change. This new ability to determine clima
 te change's role in extreme weather events has the potential to dramatical
 ly transform society--for individuals\, who can see how climate change aff
 ects their loved ones\, and corporations and governments\, who may see the
 mselves held accountable in the courts. Otto's research laid out in this g
 roundbreaking book will have profound impacts\, both today and for the fut
 ure of humankind</p>\n<p><br />This group will meet the second Wednesday o
 f each month.&nbsp\;Registration is required.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>This 
 title is available now as an eBook via Hoopla.</strong></p>\n<p>If you hav
