“…Cold extremes are decreasing in frequency and intensity across most of the world and at continental and subcontinental scales (Christidis and Stott 2016, King 2017, Dunn et al 2020, Hu et al 2020. In the Arctic, the rise in heat extremes (Sui et al 2017, Dobricic et al 2020 and decrease in cold extremes (Sui et al 2017) is especially pronounced, in line with its rapid warming (Box et al 2019). Specific cold spells of recent years have displayed this decreased probability due to climate change, including in the UK (Christidis and Stott 2020), US (Bellprat et al 2016), Europe (Peterson et al 2012, Christiansen et al 2018 and China .…”

Extreme event attribution aims to elucidate the link between global climate change, extreme weather events, and the harms experienced on the ground by people, property, and nature. It therefore allows the disentangling of different drivers of extreme weather from human-induced climate change and hence provides valuable information to adapt to climate change and to assess loss and damage. However, providing such assessments systematically is currently out of reach. This is due to limitations in attribution science, including the capacity for studying different types of events, as well as the geographical heterogeneity of both climate and impact data availability. Here, we review current knowledge of the influences of climate change on five different extreme weather hazards (extreme temperatures, heavy rainfall, drought, wildfire, tropical cyclones), the impacts of recent extreme weather events of each type, and thus the degree to which various impacts are attributable to climate change. For instance, heat extremes have increased in likelihood and intensity worldwide due to climate change, with tens of thousands of deaths directly attributable. This is likely a significant underestimate due to the limited availability of impact information in lower- and middle-income countries. Meanwhile, tropical cyclone rainfall and storm surge height have increased for individual events and across all basins. In the North Atlantic basin, climate change amplified the rainfall of events that, combined, caused half a trillion USD in damages. At the same time, severe droughts in many parts of the world are not attributable to climate change. To advance our understanding of present-day extreme weather impacts due to climate change developments on several levels are required. These include improving the recording of extreme weather impacts around the world, improving the coverage of attribution studies across different events and regions, and using attribution studies to explore the contributions of both climate and non-climate drivers of impacts.

“…Therefore, this study uses the Thiessen polygon method to calculate the annual average temperature and precipitation of Nenjiang River Basin. The Mann-Kendall (M-K) method can effectively confirm the mutation position of the sequence and detect the change trends [61]. Here, the M-K method is applied to detect whether the temperature and precipitation trends in the Nenjiang River Basin have changed abruptly.…”

Reservoirs play an important role in responding to natural disasters (such as flood and drought) by controlling the runoff. With the climate changing, the frequency and intensity of flood and drought are likely to increase. Thus, the impact of reservoirs on runoff under climate change needs to be studied to cope with future floods and drought. In this study, the Nierji Reservoir located on the Nenjiang River Basin was chosen to explore the impact. The Nenjiany River Basin is the vital water source in the water resources transfer project in Northeast China. Climate change in Nenjiang River Basin was analyzed using the 1980 to 2013 climate observations. The results show that the temperature of the basin significantly (p < 0.05) increased while the precipitation significantly (p < 0.05) decreased. Based on the result, nine kinds of different climate scenarios were set up. For different climate scenarios, the Hydroinformatic Modeling System (HIMS) model and the HIMS model with the reservoir calculation module were used to simulate runoff during the no reservoir operation period (1980–2000) and reservoir operation period (2007–2013), respectively. The impact of reservoirs on runoff under climate change is studied. Results show that the Nierji Reservoir can effectively relieve the impact of climate change on downstream runoff. When temperature increases or precipitation decreases, there are larger differences in runoff over the non-flood period, especially during periods of no reservoir operation. Reservoir operation under climate change can provide reliability in drought protection.

“…The Arctic (north of 60°N), Antarctica (south of 60°S), and the so‐called “Third Pole,” the Tibetan Plateau (TP; 25°–45°N, 65°–105°E; altitude >2,000 m), together termed “Earth's three poles,” are highly sensitive to global warming (Gao et al., 2019; X. Li et al., 2020; Rintoul et al., 2018; Sui et al., 2017). Climate change in these regions may trigger a series of climatic responses that can lead to global consequences (Fang et al., 2021; X. Li et al., 2020; You et al., 2021).…”

“…During the past few decades, unprecedented changes have taken place over the Earth's three poles (Mountain Research Initiative EDW Working Group, 2015; Sui et al., 2017; Ding et al., 2018; Wei et al., 2019). For example, the surface air temperature in the Arctic is unequivocally warming at a rate of about twice the global mean (Cohen et al., 2014; Screen & Simmonds, 2010), which is a phenomenon known as “Arctic amplification.” Under the influence of Arctic amplification, Greenland's glaciers are retreating rapidly (Mouginot et al., 2019), and there is an acceleration in the level of disturbance in both marine and terrestrial ecosystems (You et al., 2021).…”
