Fig. 4: Increase in the frequency of 1-in-100-year peak summer heat extremes in selected regions attributable to the top 10% and 1% of emitters.
From: High-income groups disproportionately contribute to climate extremes worldwide
Left: median number of additional heat extremes in selected regions that are attributable to the top 10% of emitters in China, the United States, the EU27 and India. Right: same as on the left but for the top 1% of emitters. Wider bars indicate that more events are attributable to a given emitter group. The values in the bars indicate the additional numbers of events over the course of 100 years. Median estimates were derived by first computing median attribution results at each grid cell (estimated from 15,000 ensemble members for each) and then computing statistics across grid cells within each region.
