They're saying this is normal now, the system is much higher energy and more chaotic, with bigger differentials to equalize. That means everything is far less predictable. That doesn't sound so bad if youre a city-mouse who's only worked fake-ass PMC email jobs, but if you've ever worked with logistics or agriculture you need a shower and a change of pants about now.

It means notable named states like 'drought' and 'famine' and 'hurricane' and 'monsoon', even totally new disasters we hadn't seen before industrializing like rivers of fire sharknadoes and zombie-fire are going to be as normal to us in old age as rain and tornadoes were to our grandparents.

In short, it's on the top 0.01% of temperatures of the recorded data.
