How to answer

You have entered the ATN's sub decision tree for impact analytical tasks. The first question to be addressed here is whether data on current impacts is available.

If there is data available on current impacts, then the analyst can dig deeper into current impacts addressing the tasks of detecting a trend in the data, and attributing this trend to anthropogenic climate change or to other drivers.

Subsequently, or if there is no data available, but an impact model at hand, the analyst would move on to analysing future impacts.
