Climate whiplash is a rapid swing between extremely wet and dry conditions. Whiplash events have been linked to disastrous floods in east Africa, Pakistan, and Australia, to worsening heatwaves in Europe and China, and to catastrophic fires in Los Angeles.

Research has found that almost everywhere on the planet experienced between 31% and 66% more whiplash events since the mid-20th century as emissions from fossil fuel burning heated the atmosphere. Scientists say whiplash events will rise exponentially as heating continues, more than doubling if the world heats to 3C.
