Ha! This is the most interesting climate-related video I have seen to date.

and they talk about extremes. Only about extremes. Where they come from, physically, where they will occur.

One reason why this is the most interesting video: it does not touch global mean changes at all. And thus, as Daniel also repeatedly says, is only about what really happens at ground zero.
Another reason is Daniel's extreme eloquence and holistic knowledge, and his ability to draw in facts and explanations from all sorts of areas in order to make a point or answer Dan's question.
I had several 💡 -moments, takeaways I hadn't known of or considered before.

At about minute 50 or so, SRM is discussed (as often on ClimateChat). And to listen to especially Daniel's thoughts on this is particularly valuable because he is who he is.
(His host is pro-SRM I think, and not satisfied with Daniel's holistically presented facts and personal opinions on the matter.)

One question wrt the rule of +1°C = 7% more water vapour in the air.
These +1°C are global mean.
But what the water and energy system actually draws from in places is not +1C GMT.
It finds 2.5C to 3.5C in summer in Germany.
In the Adria, Mediterranean it was +5C this summer (which caused Eastern Europe to drown).
So, in the case of +2.5C on land, doesn't this automatically also translate to an increase in water vapour to 19%?
Including the atmosphere's thirst for water evaporating from soil and plants, ie drought risk?

American units mentioned:
80°F = 26°C
90°F = 32°C
30 inch: 760mm
40,000 feet = 12km
