Attribution to greenhouse gas emissions
|
| These maps show what we can say with some confidence about how the chances of an unusual November 2014 have been changed because of our greenhouse gas emissions. More details are given below the maps. |

These are not the most probable contributions of our emissions but rather a statement of whether that contribution has passed a certain threshold, in particular whether they have at least changed the odds or at least doubled/halved the odds. So if the "odds are at least doubled" then the chance has probably been increased by quite a lot more than a doubling, but it is harder to say exactly how much.

The values on these maps are for regional averages over the regions listed here.
