Climate change will drive rise in ‘record-shattering’ heat extremes
“Record-shattering†extremes – which break weather records by large margins – will become more likely as a result of climate change, a new study finds.
The paper, published in Nature Climate Change, finds that the northern mid-latitudes are particularly vulnerable to record-shattering heat. This is exemplified by the recent heatwave over north-western US and Canada, in which many long-standing temperature records were broken by as much as 5C.
The study finds that record-shattering extreme events are likely to occur more frequently in the coming decades, but notes that they would be “nearly impossible†without climate change. It adds that the speed of warming is more important than the level of warming reached when determining the likelihood of these extremes.
Just wondering, what’s the penalty for being grossly wrong, like virtually every environmental and ‘climate change’ doom prognostication? What’s the penalty for news outlets who push this stuff without any sort of journalistic skepticism?
“I think it is an extremely important paper that couldn’t be more timelyâ€, a scientist who was not involved in the research tells Carbon Brief. She adds that, after the heatwave in the Pacific north-west, “many people have suggested our climate models are not able to simulate such eventsâ€. However, “this paper shows very nicely that they do. We just haven’t asked the question in quite this way before.â€
In other words, they wrote it to push the doom. And get more government study grant money. This is climate science.
— Today, virtually no data exist for approximately 85 percent of the earth’s surface.

Also how do we really know temperatures are getting warmer when we have been measuring temps accurately for only a few hundred years. What was the temp on this day where you live say 1126 AD or how about 256 BC.
Scientists may point to tree rings but that doesn’t give an accurate temperature.
Conservative Beaner: Also how do we really know temperatures are getting warmer when we have been measuring temps accurately for only a few hundred years. What was the temp on this day where you live say 1126 AD or how about 256 BC.
Did you know that dinosaurs roamed the rain forests of Antarctica? What will those crazy scientists come up with next?!
While precise measurements are not possible, the trend can be discerned through proxies, such as through isotopes, tree rings, pollens, and fossils. Multiple methods that show the same trend lend confidence to the findings.
Technically true, but misleading and therefore useless. The problem is that as you go farther back with these proxies, you add more error. When you are arguing about fractions of a degree, that counts.
The killing strokes for “Climate Change” is that the warmists keep coming up with predictions that fail, and that to the True Believers, ANYTHING AT ALL is taken to be due to CC.
alanstorm: Technically true, but misleading and therefore useless.
If we can determine a trend, then that is substantial scientific knowledge. It’s better than shrugging your shoulders and going “Meh.”
alanstorm: The problem is that as you go farther back with these proxies, you add more error.
Error bars are always considered when reaching scientific conclusions. How did you think it was done?

Science as an institution has “a naïve belief that if only scientists were in charge, they would run the world well.†Perhaps that’s what politicians mean when they declare that they “believe in science.†As we’ve seen during the pandemic, science can be a source of power.†. . .
“Conformity,†Mr. Ridley says, “is the enemy of scientific progress, which depends on disagreement and challenge. Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts, as [the physicist Richard] Feynman put it.†Mr. Ridley reserves his bluntest criticism for “science as a profession,†which he says has become “rather off-puttingly arrogant and political, permeated by motivated reasoning and confirmation bias.†Increasing numbers of scientists “seem to fall prey to groupthink, and the process of peer-reviewing and publishing allows dogmatic gate-keeping to get in the way of new ideas and open-minded challenge.â€
Kye: Perhaps that’s what politicians mean when they declare that they “believe in science.â€
There’s a difference between science and policy. The latter requires tradeoffs and human values, but should be based on the best available evidence.
Kye: “Conformity,†Mr. Ridley says, “is the enemy of scientific progress, which depends on disagreement and challenge.
Sure, but not all opinions are of equal weight. Just saying “Is not!” even if you repeat it loudly, does not constitute scientific skepticism.
so where is the paper/study on the sever cold in brazil last week that ruined this years coffee crop and KILLED many of the plants? you do realize this sever cold will result in higher coffee prices and even shortages??
OMG what will starbucks do????
But lets end A/C too!
Brilliant.
Well Teach at least you now admit that it is getting hotter
We haven’t heard that “1998” was the hottest year so really we have been cooling since then
And thankfully your Lord Monkton seems to have finally been forgotten
And thankfully, your buddy Michael Mann lost two parts of his lawsuit against those who told the truth:
https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/03/a-victory-but-miles-to-go/
https://reason.com/volokh/2021/07/22/dc-court-grants-summary-judgment-for-cei-in-michael-mann-defamation-suit/
The left hates disagreement and honest debate so much that they sue to silence critics.
Then again, all the left has is hate.
Mann lost his homework. Haven’t you heard. When told to produce his data on the hockey stick lie, he could not come up with it.
What happened was that Dr. Ball asserted a truth defense. He argued that the hockey stick was a deliberate fraud, something that could be proved if one had access to the data and calculations, in particular the R2 regression analysis, underlying it. Mann refused to produce these documents. He was ordered to produce them by the court and given a deadline. He still refused to produce them, so the court dismissed his case.
He told the court he could not find the data. The most important data in the history of data and he can’t find it and give it to all scientists to peer review and determine if it were true.

Actually, there has been almost complete satellite coverage of the Earth’s surface since the 1980s. The satellite data shows much the same trend as the surface data.

Funny how the KiddieZ cannot refute that factual statement.
But they try so hard.

A perfect self-cancelling statement.

Uh, no. Consider the Newtonian model of gravity. Someone may never have applied the model to, say, someone hitting a golf ball on the Moon. Doing so is hardly self-refuting.
In this case, the researchers found that the probability of an extreme heat occurrence “depends on warming rate, rather than global warming level, and is thus pathway-dependent.”

In other news, heat waves will become more common, say climate scientists, right after a heatwave happens…
