BBC & Weather Attribution Models
April 12, 2025

You may recall this BBC report from last summer:
Human-induced climate change made recent extreme heat in the US south-west, Mexico and Central America around 35 times more likely, scientists say.
The World Weather Attribution (WWA) group studied excess heat between May and early June, when the US heatwave was concentrated in south-west states including California, Nevada and Arizona.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czvvqdg8zxnoI complained at the time that the WWA claims were presented as “factual”, rather than output from computer models. Furthermore the actual historical data showed the WWA claims to be false. (See my post here).
I have just received this response from the BBC:
