Temporary Climate Extremes Threaten Vulnerable Regions at 1.5°C and 2°C Warming
The goal of the study was to compare climate conditions at 1.5°C and 2°C global warming in both temporary and stable states. By analyzing greenhouse gas model simulations, the researchers found that regions like mid-latitude land areas could be much warmer in temporary climate conditions compared to stable ones. This means that if global warming continues rapidly, these areas may experience more extreme temperature changes, but if the world stabilizes its climate, these changes could lessen. The speed of global warming is crucial to consider when predicting regional climate changes.
