Since my journey was indirectly affected by the floods in Germany today, a few points from a climate impact attribution expert:
No, these floods today are not a direct consequence of global warming.
Yes, the probability, frequency and intensity of such events increases with global warming.
Inadequate climate policies also include failure to adapt infrastructure to such events.
And nature-based floodplain management can help.
