Prof. Eliot Jacobsonさんのイラストまとめ

Today it feels like the whole planet is on fire.

Including humidity into climate predictions gives the very poorly named "thetae_sfc" (surface equivalent potential temperature). Both Arctic amplification and lethal equatorial wet-bulb temperature extremes are clearly evident:

I find pictures like this terrifying, not because of the crushing heat wave in China or record cold in Greenland, but because so little of the planet is average. Climate change drives extremes and extremes destroy ecosystems.

It's hard to imagine a part of the planet as screwed up as the Antarctic is right now. The anomalies range from > 20C above to < 20C below average in areas right next to each other. This would be devastating anywhere else. Like the North, the Southern polar jet is in chaos.
