Maybe it will but I'd caution people to avoid conflating specific projections about regional climate and storm formation associated with global warming, and the pure thermodynamic model of global warming which is just heat in > heat out and some basic chemistry. Because one is a chaotic dynamic system, and one is fairly simple physics.

No change since the 2010s, then. What was that distributed climate model experiment back then called? Like Folding@home, but for climate models. ClimatePrediction.net, that was it.

Anyway, all the model runs said this was going to happen. Robust to parameter variation, this result.
