We used observational data and output from 23 global climate </div><div class="">models to show a high probability (>90%) that growing season temperatures in the tropics and </div><div class="">subtropics by the end of the 21st century will exceed the most extreme seasonal temperatures </div><div class="">recorded from 1900 to 2006.
