Good summary by Gavin of this recent article. The only way that more cold extremes could happen in a warming climate is for the warming to be accompanied by increased interdiurnal variability (such as in the bottom figure below). That's both unlikely and atypical, at least in the mid-latitudes.

interested in taking sustainability 101, but from the comfort of your own home? well hey, have i got the youtube video series (and also accompanying college course with actual college credit that launches Oct. 16) for you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eii...

Tree-ring series from ENSO rainfall impact regions reconstruct tropical Pacific SSTs with high degrees of skill back to 1500 CE and 1100 CE Two very different reconstruction methods produce simil...
This work highlights major uncertainties in the long-term carbon storage capacity of ecosystem, and the need to better constrain poorly constrained processes in the models
Further, we found that to the extent that these stocks recovered at all, it was ENTIRELY driven by the modeled CO2 fertilization effect (3/n)
Focusing on the Sahel drought, we found that carbon fluxes (e.g., GPP) recovered quickly after the drought, but carbon storage in vegetation and soil had still not recovered 20 years after the peak of the drought (2/n)
What's the potential for long-term ecosystem carbon sequestration in the face of climate extremes? This is a question we investigated (led by Emma Rigatti & Sonali McDermid) using the MSTMIP model ensemble (1/n): agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
Ecosystem models show that the 20th century Sahelian drought depressed carbon stocks across the West African Great Green Wall domain Carbon fluxes did exhibit some recovery strongly driven atmosp...

Anybody here using the new CDS API for downloading ERA5 data? Code is running fine, but it is REALLY slow (much slower than manual request on the webform)
