My latest for @science.org: A remarkable set of high-resolution climate model runs, computed over 900 (!) days of supercomputing time, are revealing how warming-induced changes to Earth's wind patterns due can prime huge spikes in extreme rainfall.
But the MESACLIP runs also do much more than that.

Maduro secretly offered the US a large share of Venezuela's 300 bn barrel oil reserves to prevent a military clash, NYT reports.
Trump turned it down. Talks could still be ongoing though, with the aircraft carrier deployment aimed at pressuring Maduro for better terms.

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.
