When I wrote about the science of attribution last year, Andrew E.

Baldocchi argues that this latest cluster of blazes can be attributed to "a perfect storm" of certain factors: a wet winter that produced lots of biomass; the end of the summer dry season, when the vegetation is at its driest and thus most combustible; winds coming from the Northeast, which created a particularly unique weather event.

But in Britain we have been stuck — save for a few exceptions that prove the rule — with the no-single-weather-event-is-caused-by-climate-change rhetoric that is not only scientifically outdated (attribution studies can tell us just how much extreme weather events are caused by climate change), but increasingly feels like an abdication of moral responsibility.

In short, Moody's is making it clear that there is a potential climate risk bubble in which an extreme weather event causes damages so catastrophic that taxpayers, insurers, lenders, states and municipalities suffer damages or losses of hundreds of billions of dollars and local and state government face downgrades in their credit worthiness, affecting their ability to borrow money.

A Carrington-level space weather event today could be catastrophic in its disruption, particularly at Northern latitudes, where proximity to the poles makes equipment more vulnerable As this solar stuff collides with us, our planet's magnetic field lines funnel charged particles down toward the planet's poles, where they interact with our atmosphere and cause the brilliant aurorae.

In this case, big swings in the jet stream — a relatively narrow band of high altitude, powerful winds that separates cooler northern air from warmer southern air — let chilly air swoop down into the western U.S. while allowing warmer tropical air to move north and settle over a large zone of the central and eastern U.S. But, with relentlessly rising background temperatures on Earth, this warm weather event was given a kick.

All this production, however, has a dark side, rarely mentioned in the huzzahs about the 10-million-barrel milestone: the continued carbon-loading of the atmosphere as global temperatures rise, as one extreme weather event follows another, as almost all mainstream scientists say that to avoid a climate catastrophe, the world must leave a big chunk of its fossil fuels in the ground and spend heavily on more benign forms of energy.
