A new study published in the academic journal 'Environmental Research: Climate', has found that for some extreme weather events, such as heat waves, the link with climate change is unclear and unequivocal across the world, and that the extent of impacts are likely being underestimated by insurers, economists, and governments. The study also shows how attribution science has led to major advances in linking the impacts of extreme weather and human-induced climate change damage.

Heat waves across America, or for that matter northwest India have been documented pretty well. However, why can't some geographic regions be consistently analysed? When multiple extreme weather events are being witnessed across the globe, are there any that are being incorrectly attributed to climate change?
