direction, i.e. lower temperature and reduced rainfall (colder and drier) as well as higher temperature and increased rainfall (warmer and wetter) are more likely than the two variables changing in opposite directions. • The position of the individual simulations and the shaded area, displaced up

on this year’s report he said: “By measuring Earth’s surface temperature since 1850 we know that 2021 was one of the six hottest years since records began.
