"We find an emergence of hotspots where the hottest temperatures are warming significantly faster than more moderate temperatures. In these regions, trends are largely underestimated in climate model simulations."

'Global emergence of regional heatwave hotspots outpaces climate model simulations' our new paper in @pnas.org with S. Bartusek, R. Seager. J. Schellnhuber and M. Ting investigating the tail behaviour of extreme heatwave trends. @iiasa.ac.at @columbiaclimate.bsky.social @lamontearth.bsky.social

Great paper and thread on how we continue to learn and rethink our understanding of the not-so-distant climate, and our dependence on historical data collection 👇

Redrawing the global warming stripes. In a new paper led by Sebastian Sippel published in Nature today, we show that the early 20th century global ocean surface temperatures and thereby global mean surface temperature were warmer than previously thought. Thread... (1/13)
