Wonderful research! Congratulations to the scientists. It would be nice if the findings could be supplemented with evidence for the southern hemisphere also, and then integrated to derive global estimates. This research is near and dear to my heart as I did my post-doctoral work at Carnegie/Stanford 25 years ago on this topic. I have fond memories of my interactions with the late Stephen Schneider (RIP), who was such an effective advocate and communicator of the global warming threat. The exact temperature increase estimates and CIs don't matter any more as many important global ecological thresholds have already been crossed. Time for action is well behind us, policy and lifestyle/behavioral changes are urgently needed, and we all need to change our individual consumption behaviours. For the near future, we should expect more severe global-warming events such as more frequent and severe storms/hurricanes/drought/flood. We have to learn to adapt, and elect law-makers and executives who will support and fight for necessary policies and legislation to counter the global warming threat. Adaptation will be slower for plants and animal life, and many will suffer and die, and more species will become extinct. How did we get here? Scientists have been warning us of the urgent threat of global warming for well over five decades...the MIT publication from the '70s, "Limits to Growth" has a permanent slot on my bookshelf. Please do your part.
