After centuries of effort, scientists have largely succeeded in digitally reconstructing the Earth in order to ask how its climate will change in the future. Now some people, not liking the answer, are reaching to unplug the machine. @savagitsky reports:

Over the past 60 years, scientists have largely succeeded in building a computer model of Earth to see what the future holds. One of the most ambitious projects humankind has ever undertaken has now...

"Summer is behaving very erratically as the country warms, with large changes in some regions, especially the West, and very muted ones in the central and southeast US." via @CNN:
cnn.com
Average temperatures elide a complex reality: The country’s experience of hotter summers — and thus one of the most visceral aspects of climate change itself — is fractured along geographic lines.

The Midwest is getting warmer, even though summer highs are dropping. Here's why:

Summer afternoon temperatures have cooled off in the middle of the country in recent decades. But hotter nights and winters are still driving more overall warmth in the region.
