The report's findings could be important for several major climate cases making their way through the legal system.
The report assesses climate attribution science.
In the past decade or so, the rapidly advancing field has gotten much better at figuring out just how much worse or how much more likely bad weather events like hurricanes are because of burning fossil fuels.
Some legal cases hinge on that knowledge.
A case from Oregon, for example, is seeking damages for dozens of deaths in a 2021 heat wave that scientists found was intensified by climate change.
The case alleges that fossil fuel companies knew their products could worsen the risks.

It turns out that there's a just right nighttime temperature for sleeping, too.
It's in the 50s.
When it's hotter than that, people lose sleep even if they're used to hot weather.
And that Goldilocks nighttime temperature is getting more elusive as the planet heats up.
On average, hot nights cost about 56 hours of sleep per year, according to a new analysis from the research group Climate Central.
Christina Dahl is the lead scientist.
She says the best sleep aid?
Burning fewer fossil fuels.
