Ok folks, now more than ever, we need to Be Kind and do Good Science.
This means digging in, producing the evidence, communicating clearly and sincerely, celebrating our collective curiosity, and being mindful of the spaces we are and can be in.

hey hivemind - how do you keep google folders organized and how do you access them? I seem to have a lot of google drives across a lot of projects, and navigating to the right place seems weirdly complicated for me. TIA for tips.
Also, thanks, but please don't tell me to use something else.

While there *is* evidence of both "wetter wets" & "drier dries" in warming climate, temperatures are going almost universally in one direction: Up. We're just not seeing "colder colds."
Some interesting potential Arctic-related caveats still remain TBD, but that doesn't change big picture.

Is climate change responsible for increasingly frequent or severe cold events?
The evidence suggests it is not.
Instead, the impact of climate change is warmer winters and less severe cold events.
@hausfath.bsky.social has a great post on The Climate Brink talking about this.

One of the most surprising things I've learned from my research is that "how hot it's gotten so far" doesn't tell us much about "how hot it's going to get eventually". Long-ago, really weird climates can tell us a lot more about where we're headed.
Recent assessments have found the last glacial maximum implies a climate sensitivity of 2.4C (1.4C to 5.0C): www.science.org/doi/...
And the Pliocene implies a sensitivity of 3.1C (2.3C to 4.7C): www.pnas.org/doi/10....
Paleoclimate evidence generally provides the strongest constraint on high ECS.
