We also ask experts about the determinants of future forecast improvements. They consider investments in weather models and observation networks as the most important. Better forecasts can thus save lives, but these gains depend on public investment in forecasting infrastructure.

We combine a quasi-experimental empirical analysis with an expert solicitation to quantify how many lives can be saved if weather forecasts continue to improve. We find that several thousands of deaths can be prevented every year in an optimistic forecast scenario with moderate climate change.

Our work is motivated by multiple trends: 1) Technology has made weather forecasts much better in predicting temperature extremes and this trend is likely to continue. 2) Under climate change, extremes become more frequent, but also the predictability of weather may change.

New paper published in PNAS today!

In case you've seen results going around today about a paper on reproducibility in the social sciences in Nature and it seems like reactions differ, you could be forgiven for being confused because there are actually *FOUR* such studies all published the same day, with somewhat differing results.

Climate policy diffusion in action - with potentially large global benefits.

An excellent introduction to the social aspects of weather forecasts can also be found on Our World in Data (citing our work): ourworldindata.org/weather-fore...

Interested in weather forecasts, adaptation to climate change, and economic development?

Look no further.
