The world inches toward catastrophic climate events: ‘Bigger shocks are on the way’
The risks have been known, and building, for over 150 years
By PETER PRENGAMAN
Updated 9:55 AM EDT, August 24, 2026NEW YORK (AP) — "In the opening scene of American writer #KimStanleyRobinson ’s 'The Ministry for the Future,' a #HeatWave combined with a breakdown of the electrical grid in India kills 20 million people. The devastation causes the world’s nations to unite to combat #ClimateChange .
"Scientists have long warned that the world will experience more intense #ExtremeWeather events like #heatwaves, #storms, #floods and #droughts. But what once seemed like the realm of fiction is now discussed as a possibility, even an inevitability.
"Warning about an 'extreme of extremes' or the 'Other Big One,' a play off the California reference of a big future earthquake, can be fraught. After all, nobody can say for sure when a weather catastrophe may happen. But in the last few years, the planetary ingredients needed for a massive disturbance have been building. And alarm is growing.
'The risk is that people just think you are exaggerating,' said #DanielSwain, a climate scientist with the California Institute for Water Resources. 'It’s the ‘Boy Who Cried Wolf’ problem. Sometimes wolves are real. If it’s outside the door, wouldn’t you want to know?' "https://apnews.com/article/climate-change-disaster-big-one-threat-5b062254250a759483c94376d32ae478

Also: NOT 3°C warmer on YOUR spot, but IN AVERAGE, which means a lot hotter AND a lot cooler in different spots around the globe. Quick unpredictable changes within days or even hours, which make adaptation for living beings extremely difficult if not impossible.

Die Klimakrise – eigentlich kein Thema? Wissenschaftler:innen zu Gates‘ „Memo“
https://youtu.be/DUAXXDPOHUQ?si=vq3KtcmVLbuuRnhS Kurz vor der COP30 hat Bill Gates es mit einem sogenannten „Memo“ (Gates, 2025) geschafft, die mediale Aufmerksamkeit von den negativen Daten zur Entwicklung des Klimas und den weiter steigenden Emissionen abzulenken. In seinem Memo stellt er die Klimakrise als hochgespieltes Problem dar. Trump, bei dem Gates mit anderen Tech-Milliardären erst kürzlich zum Abendessen eingeladen war (Gann et al., 2025), feierte das Memo als Erfolg (Shockey, 2025). Auch Gates habe erkannt, dass die Klimakrise ein erfundenes Problem sei. Gates hat das als „gigantic misreading“ zurückgewiesen (Harder, 2025). Covering Climate Now hat gestern vier bekannte US-Klimawissenschaftler:innen – Kim Cobb, Zeke Hausfather, Katharine Hayhoe und Daniel Swain – zu einer öffentlichen Zoom-Konferenz eingeladen, um schnell auf Gates' PR-Aktion zu reagieren. Die Aufnahme des von Sammy Roth moderierten Events wurde auf YouTube publiziert (Covering Climate Now, 2025).

dr. Daniel Swain short on the emerging "tug of war" between the atmosphere in the Arctic (where the near-surface air is warming much faster than air at high altitudes) and the tropics (where near-surface air is warming much more slowly than air at high altitudes).

dr. Daniel Swain short on the cause of more extreme downpours:
"rising temperatures rapidly increase the air's capacity to "hold" water vapor--by around ~7% per °C (or around ~4% per °F). This leads to the "Expanding Atmospheric Sponge Effect"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFU0m7cR_eU
