As I explain here, climate change is not only loading the weather dice against us, it's also replacing some of the numbers with extra 6's and even some 7s and an 8 -- making heatwaves more dangerous, heavy downpours more frequent, droughts longer and stronger, hurricanes intensify faster, and more.
In this Global Weirding episode, I go through each type of extreme and explain how and why climate change is making it more severe and/or more frequent (sometimes one, sometimes the other, sometimes both, depending on the type of weather event). www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT4a...
One thing Iβve noticed over the past few years is that extreme weather events seem to endure for days or even weeks - making heatwaves and heavy rainfall exponentially worse
