Thu Dec 15 at @theAGU #AGU22: Research by @columbiaclimate @LamontEarth's @KKornhuber, @radleyhorton, colleagues on how climate models may accurately reproduce atmospheric patterns but underestimate surface anomalies that could result in future crop damage.https://t.co/hYfTf5oDl3

[Casey Ivanovich @ccivanovich]

Excited to present my work on extreme humid heat associated with the South Asian summer monsoon at #AGU22!

Stop by Thursday morning to hear about a framework we could apply broadly to explore interactions between precipitation and heat stress🌡️

[NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas @NBCNightlyNews]

A week of extreme weather events is spurring discussions of climate change's impact on natural disasters.

One expert says that the magnitude of these extreme events goes beyond what we anticipated.

[Center on Global Energy Policy @ColumbiaUEnergy]

Scorching heat waves are becoming more widespread. Hot, humid conditions that can kill people are getting more likely. #EnergyExchange host @bill_loveless spoke with @radleyhorton of @LamontEarth about the science behind heat waves & our ability to adapt. https://t.co/qw0gxGvg1S

[NBC News NOW @NBCNewsNow]

Millions around the world are facing extreme heat heading into the weekend.

So what does the science say about how climate change plays a role?

@radleyhorton joins #AaronNOW to explain.

Every flight between cities within this circle is a policy failure.

Today is Earth Day. How serious is the climate challenge the world is facing and how can you take action?

@radleyhorton joins @WatchSavannah on #MorningNewsNow with what you can do.

[Colin Raymond @regclimo]

For climate, especially future projections over large regions, we hope to encourage a movement toward total heat as a routine way of capturing changes in the global atmosphere. (Even more broadly, ocean warming is >90% of the Earth-system sum, but less directly human-relevant).

[Colin Raymond @regclimo]

A temperature-based picture misses this, most badly in demographically and ecologically vulnerable areas: West and Central Africa, S Asia. It also potentially leads to maladaptation: for example, irrigation can lower peak temperatures, but increase total heat by a larger margin.

[Colin Raymond @regclimo]

In fact, over the last 50 years, 38% of atmospheric heat gain was due to latent heat – and at low levels in the tropics, this is more than 75% (figure shows column-integrated values).
