Our reading
Human-caused climate change is impacting the occurrence and intensity of extreme weather events.
Their wordsThe report contains an unambiguous, affirmative statement that human-caused climate change is indeed impacting the occurrence and intensity of extreme weather events.
-
Our reading
The incidence of quasi-resonant amplification (QRA) events has tripled over the past half century.
Their wordsA recent study of ours in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed that the incidence of QRA events has tripled (from roughly one QRA event per summer to roughly three events per summer) over the past half century.

Their wordsOur own research has shown that climate models are likely underestimating the impact that climate change is having on these extreme weather disasters. They are likely also underestimating the potential for ice sheet disintegration, sea level rise, and deadly typhoons.
-
Their wordsThe world is making real progress in lowering climate emissions.

Their wordsDriven by an unprecedented surge in renewable energy deployment including wind, solar, batter technological, EVs and high-speed rail, China's carbon emissions have entered a "flat or falling" trend, far ahead of the 2030 deadline.

Their wordsMann says they're is a clear signal that human-caused warming is now the most dominant force shaping our climate-without it, those temperature highs from two years prior would have been essentially impossible.

Our reading
The warming of Earth's surface will cease shortly after carbon emissions are reduced to zero.
Their wordsOne thing the models tell us with greater confidence now is that the warming of Earth's surface will cease shortly after we reduce our carbon emissions to zero.

Their wordsThe dismantling of NCAR very much undermines the United States' standing when it comes to the advancement of climate science.
-
Their wordsClimate science will go on, but increasingly in other countries, as the U.S. continues on its current trajectory toward second class status among industrial nations when it comes to science and technology.
-
Their wordsThe de-funding of the famous Mauna Loa observatory where rising CO2 concentrations were first measured and charted, as well as the eviction of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies from their iconic home on the upper west side of New York City atop Tom's Diner, and the breakup of the equally iconic NCAR climate modeling laboratory perched on the cliffs of the Flatirons in Boulder Colorado, are intended as malicious symbolism by the current administration.

Their wordsThe COP30 global climate summit in Brazil may have been the last opportunity for the nations of the world to reach an agreement that limits planetary warming below catastrophic (>1.5C/3F) levels.
-
Their wordsThey have banded together to weaponize the "consensus" rule machinery of the UNFCCC, hijacking the negotiations and blocking any meaningful commitment or timeline for phasing out fossil fuels.
-
Their wordsSuch measures seems necessary, as the prior enforcement mechanism of "name and shame" simply doesn't work with parties that have no shame.

Their wordsThe increased intensity and destructive potential of these storms too can be attributed to human-caused warming.
-
Their wordsIt is possible that climate change is altering the behavior of the phenomenon. And if that's the case, that it may also be altering the impact the phenomenon has on other attributes of the ocean-atmosphere system, including its influence on seasonal hurricane activity.
