Talk:Extreme event attribution

Washington Post article
For those interested, The Washington Post published this article on 11 September. I'm not sure how reliable a source it would be considered to be here, but it does link to several specific studies. — RCraig09 (talk) 04:49, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Do we really need this as a stand-along article?
If "extreme event" refers to "extreme weather event" then couldn't this article rather be merged into extreme weather? Or otherwise perhaps it should be merged into Attribution of recent climate change?

 * Extreme event attribution is the broader, generic term. It's not limited to weather events. Example: extreme life events. — RCraig09 (talk) 17:25, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * In that case, the first sentence of the lead is wrong as it clearly limits the scope of the article to extreme weather events (bolding added by me): Extreme event attribution, also known as attribution science, is a relatively new field of study in meteorology and climate science that tries to measure how ongoing climate change directly affects recent extreme weather events..

 * I've changed the first sentence now but I think we need to find other refs for this, as the two refs provided refer to extreme weather events (in their title at least). Which other rare events do you have in mind, e.g. earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis? EMsmile (talk) 22:57, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
