It seems soon enough the link between climate change and extreme weather will be officially recognized by the IPCC in their coming report. This link, while presumed by most within the study of climate change, and indicated by much data, has yet to be fully, explicitly defined and recognized by the IPCC, the main body in the study of climate change.
While most involved in the study of climate change know that this link is implied by much data, its full admission will present a valuable tool in convincing the general public of the necessity for action. Broad, long-term potential effects, while potentially disastrous, are vague; explicit links which can be made between actual weather occurrences and man-caused GHG's will illustrate a much more tangible need.
