The #climate is changing so fast that we haven’t seen how bad #extremeweather could get
Rapid #climatechange means we haven't experienced extremes modern-day #atmospheric and oceanic warmth produce. In stable climate, scientists would have decades of extreme events, such as #heatwaves, #floods, or #droughts. We could use these observations to build up understanding of what the climate is capable of. But in our rapidly changing climate, we effectively have only a few years
