This is due to atmospheric dynamics and other factors that the models aren't capturing well, experts told me. cc @frediotto.bsky.social & @michaelemann.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/06/23/c... (2/2)

See if you can work on your photo editors to stop illustrating with people lollygaging around outdoors on deadly hot days? bsky.app/profile/jool...

I'd have to confirm this but a pattern I think I've spotted is, when they show hot days in Britain they show people lollygagging in the park, but when discussing it in Africa they show cracked earth, and in India they show overheated people pouring water over their necks.

It’s the same when a driver kills someone with their car. In the U.K. the headline is “Pedestrian killed by vehicle” Somehow the vehicle is what did the killing, not the driver. When will this change? The U.K worships fossil fuels so much. It’s started tens of wars for it so why stop?

Also would be nice if the local L.A. newscasters didn't describe 90+ sunny days as a "beautiful" day today.

For real, 90+ degrees can kill babies and the elderly, and is only pleasant if you are by the pool with a frosty one. It's fucking awful if commuting/working/wearing anything besides swimwear.

"Computer models “severely underestimate” the extreme heat trends we are seeing [...] future extreme heat are likely also underestimates." "This is thought to be because of changes in air pollutants known as aerosols as well as shifts in weather patterns that may also be caused by climate change."

Yes. The changes due to any one factor are easier to model accurately than the interactions between the factors.
