1.1 degree above pre-industrial reference and it is already a nightmare and yet we drill again to keep the carbon economy running.
not a climatologist (just an interested physicist) but (some of) these heatwaves overshoot models predictions by a fair margin.
can't wait for the fresh papers quantifying that this autumn. it's gonna be bleak.
