A global collaborative study by World Weather Attribution suggests human factors, not climate change, significantly worsened the deadly Assam floods. The analysis found no clear evidence that climate change is altering the trend in rainfall intensity or likelihood. This highlights the critical role of human actions and land management in exacerbating natural disasters, even when climate change trends are not definitively linked to specific events.
