Think a killer #heatwave won't hit you?

"Looking at historical data from 1959 to 2021, we found that 31% of Earth’s land surface has already experienced such statistically implausible #heat.

We must be very cautious about using the historical record in isolation to estimate the “maximum” #heatwave possible. Policymakers across the globe should prepare for exceptional heatwaves that would be deemed #implausible based on current records."
