Interesting review paper just out in Nature. "Heatwaves are anticipated to become more frequent, persistent and intense in nearly all inhabited regions, with trends amplified by soil drying in some areas, especially the mid-latitudes." https://www.nature.com/articles/s43017-022-00371-z
Prediction and projection of heatwaves - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment

Heatwaves are occurring with increasing frequency and intensity, necessitating prediction so as to minimize loss of life and other impacts. This Review outlines heatwave predictive capabilities at daily to decadal timescales, and discusses heatwave projections with anthropogenic warming.

@rahmstorf . Well, dont get me wrong, the fact that heat waves become more drastic is obvious even from the picture, but, i am no friend of this pic... It looks like someone fitted a non gaussian distribution with a gaussian curve. And, please correct me if I m wrong, isnt 30years the lower limit of what we call climate? Worst of all: i had to try quiet hard for some time, to explain it to my girlfriend 😉
