PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The influence of climate change on daily temperatures anywhere on Earth can now be calculated and scored on a simplified scale–the Climate Shift Index–using peer-reviewed attribution methods developed through a collaboration led by Climate Central. A report released today details global patterns and rankings based on daily assessments over the last 12 months, and a new map-based tool visualizes Climate Shift Index scores for 1,021 cities worldwide each day.

Key Points: 
  • The Climate Shift Index applies a five-point scale to indicate how much more likely or frequent daily temperatures have become as a result of climate change.
  • For example, a Climate Shift Index (CSI) level of 3 means the day's temperature was made at least 3x more likely than it would have been without the influence of human-caused climate change.
  • "Being able to reliably detect the fingerprints of climate change in everyday weather, anywhere in the world, represents a vital advance in climate attribution science," Dr. Andrew Pershing, director of climate science at Climate Central said.
  • Climate Central will temporarily provide downloadable daily compilations of all global Climate Shift Index scores through the end of the United Nations COP27 climate change conference on Friday, November 18.
