This study investigates the impact of human-caused climate change on year-to-year temperature variability. Using climate model large ensembles, the researchers project a significant emergence of regional changes in temperature variability by the end of the 21st century under a strong global warming scenario. The findings reveal a contrasting pattern: increased variability over tropical land and decreased variability in high latitudes. This pattern aligns with observed changes and paleoclimate reconstructions, highlighting the urgent need for mitigation efforts to avoid unprecedented changes in temperature variability.
