it wad made 150 times more likely due to cc so far, hence the 1/1000. so we can expect those odds to get more likely - even if we stopped emitting today, those odds look bad.

That was a bitter read. Most terrifyingly to me is those odds of 1/1000 (which only get worse) aren't even the most terrifying prospect for the region:

"There are two possible sources of this extreme jump in peak temperatures. The first is that this is a very low probability event[...] The second option is that nonlinear interactions in the climate have substantially increased the probability of such extreme heat, much beyond the gradual increase in heat extremes that has been observed up to now"

So something could have changed in the dynamics for the region which greatly increased the chances of this occurrence. Really hope that isn't the case here...
