The McKinsey report is from 2020 and a lot has happened since then, thinking here especially of the events of March of 22’ for which there is a peer reviewed attribution study.

There is nothing in the observable data and modelling data to say that this assessment of the risks in India are wrong.

See

This attribution report doesn't shy away from singling out climate change as the singular driver in a complex weather system, despite requiring multiple steps to connect the two. I won't pretend to be an environmental scientist, but showing how closely a single phenomena follows a model without justifying that model is how you get the field of economics dominated by Keynesians calling themselves "empiricists".

Its too convenient that this attribution report is picking a negative event to analyze, I reject this premesis. Put these models up against the weather in Virginia over 10 years and show me how they fit.

Well let’s hope for the sake of everything in the path of this that they and their data are wrong and you are right!

Wouldn’t that be just awesome!
