Distinct regions are seeing repeated heat waves so extreme, they cannot be explained by climate models.
So we’ve entered the terrifying undefined behavior era
undefined behavior
Unfortunately it appears that we are far past compile time checks at this point.
My C++ programming teacher warned me about this.
The find out stage.
mmmm… just like food in a microwave.
the 10 hottest yearly average temperatures have occurred in the past decade.
better wording of this would be the 10 hottest years recorded are the last 10. Soon to be 11.
I’m not sure that heat clusters over 65 years means the clusters will stay the same in the future. Going back 65 years, obfuscates the global warming acceleration that occurred since 1980, and perhaps 1998 or 2010 or 2015. At any rate, clusters would develop from a completely random process.
I feel like the big one in western Australia is pretty easily explained … that’s a big ole desert and we are moving in to summer …
Not sure how serious this comment is but these are anomalies against expected behaviour from models. These models include historical data with the addition of how we expect the changes we are making to impact it with the best knowledge we have of how the systems work.
So its not saying its surprising that Australia is hot this time of year it’s saying it markedly hotter than we expect or can explain using everything we understand about the climate.
Yeah I didn’t read the article, that sounds fair
