It's like rolling 2d6 for the weather each year - 2, 3, 4, 5 is a cool summer, 6-8 is human comfortable normal and most likely, 9-12 is hotter or drier than normal. Oh, and every half degree C of warming adds a pip to each side of one of the dice. 1 degree of warming? Each of those dice is now 2-7 not 1-6. 1.5 C? Now there's a 2-7 and a 3-8. Doesn't change that "6-8 is comfortable" though. Edit: I noticed but blew past the dice mention in the article, and what I'm describing is different. Dr Hayhoe describes it as replacing sides with additional 6s, but that's different. What we're experiencing is a gradual change of where the center point of the distribution curve is, but without a corresponding change in the values at which humans are comfortable (or even able to live, look up "wet bulb" in the context of climate change). Edit2: if what gets you massive heat waves are rolls of 12 or higher, adding a pip means there are now more ways to get there - (6,6) but also (5,7) and (6,7). Adding yet another pip would mean even more ways, along with the corresponding reduction in ways to get the bottom of the previous range.
