The climate is changing so fast that we haven’t seen how bad extreme weather could get
Record heat, storms and floods reveal new extremes made possible by climate change.

It's awfully ironic that this was Lord Whitehead's answer, as at the @nebriefing.bsky.social Prof. @kevinclimate.bsky.social told the attendees in no uncertain terms that the 1.5C goal was now out of reach and 2C will soon be too! That many dont know this yet shows the need of a government briefing

This is a very nice new paper I was involved in. It is a very powerful new method for investigating the thermodynamic effects of climate change on rainfall extremes, with some quite sobering results showing very large increases in intensity.
