![1.5-3°C of #GlobalWarming may not sound like a big deal. But for perspective: the difference between recent temperatures & last glacial period (when there were glaciers thousands of feet thick in areas now home to Chicago & New York) is only around ~6°C.

Extreme heatwaves and torrential downpours have already increased due to global warming, and even larger shifts are likely in the future. But our cities, our infrastructure, and our ways of life are predicated on the observed historical envelope of weather conditions. Are we ready?
