“Climate models predict that severe heat waves should become more common as the climate warms and that the most severe of them will become even more deadly.”

The point of no return. you make the argument that we are not. >> yeah, this is a common misunderstanding. we scientists have to take responsibility for it. for years, we communicated the idea that the planet would continue to warm up even after we stopped putting carbon pollution into the atmosphere. it's related to the sluggishness of the oceans that continue to warm up. our models, the climate models that we were using in those experiments were nearly as comprehensive as they have become over the past decade. we understand that well while we have that effect, the laggan sluggishness of the ...

On the other hand, I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. So do not take the lecture too seriously, feeling that you really have to understand in terms of some model what I am going to describe, but just relax and enjoy it. I am going to tell you what nature behaves like. If you will simply admit that maybe she does behave like this, you will find her a delightful, entrancing thing. Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possible avoid it, "But how can it be like that?" because you will get 'down the drain', into a blind alley from which nob...

Models aren't doing a great job capturing. in some ways the climate models we use to predict all this may be underestimating some of these very significant impacts, including these extreme weather events, the changed atmospheric wind pat turns that bring all that smoke from canada down here into the eastern u.s., all of that is being impacted by climate change, sometimes in fairly subtle ways. >> you just explained for me why flight times from west to east are not as rapid as they used to be in the past. does canada have a different way of treating wildfires or fighting them than the u.s. mode...

Scientists say a closely watched atmospheric pattern — the jet stream — is behind both the Canadian wildfires and the scorching heat in Texas, raising questions about how it shapes extreme weather events and whether climate change is disrupting its flow.
