and the authors of the draft SAP 3.3 for producing a broadly formulated and generally solid assessment of the scientific underpinnings of this most important topic. Indeed, the committee agrees that potential changes in extreme weather and climate events resulting from global climate change have serious socio-economic and environmental implications.

From page 5... ...
For an observed trend in a particular type of extreme event or variable, please discuss the underlying scientific and technical reasons for that uncertainty, and discuss its implications for projected trends in the extreme event or variable in question. When feasible, compare and contrast the issue for a particular variable to the underlying issues for other variables.

The committee recognizes CCSP SAP Goal 4 addresses the subject of impacts in detail, but those SAPs address impacts of climate change in the broader sense and do not necessarily address per se the impacts of extreme events.
