6 Points of departure 1. Several types of weather & climate extremes are changing in intensity and frequency 2. Climate extremes propagate to impacts, but in complex ways: Example: Forest and peat fires of Russian heat wave (Aug 5, 2010) Carbon losses through (indirect) wild fire effects (-256 Tg CO2, Yoshida et al. 2017, Env. Pol.) were about three times as large as direct carbon losses through reduced photosynthesis (-90 Tg CO2, Bastos et al. 2014, Biogeosciences). S. Sippel Metrics used to measure climate extremes / 15
