@SteveBowenWx Like the 5yr view. Considered how 17-21 period ranks against all prior distinct 5yr periods in HURDAT2 ito CONUS HU landfalls/close bypasses?
Fellow catastrophe risk management practitioners, keen to hear your thoughts on our recent work to quantify the potential near-term impacts of climate change on re/insured portfolios. https://t.co/Uf76Jnfldy
#ResilientTogether | With a strong focus on the next 5-10 years, we are assessing the impact of climate change on SCOR and on its clients’ business through a deep study, as Paul Nunn and Maurizio Savina explain https://t.co/iR1biGVRSd
All three seasons with warmer sea surface temperatures than 2020 to date were very active Atlantic #hurricane seasons. Both 2005 and 2017 were extremely destructive seasons as well, while 2010 spared the continental US, with 0 of the 12 hurricanes in the basin hitting the CONUS.
I spent a humiliating amount of time learning how to make animated graphs, just to illustrate a fairly obvious point.
“Forecasting s-curves is hard”
My views on why carefully following daily figures is unlikely to provide insight.

“If you are irresponsible enough to think that you don’t mind if you get the flu, remember it’s not about you - it’s about everybody else.”
Intensive care specialist Professor Hugh Montgomery explains why this coronavirus is different from the ordinary flu.
NEW on coronavirus: many western countries may soon face Italy’s situation
Case numbers since outbreaks began in several countries have tracked a ~33% daily rise. This is as true for UK, France, Germany as Italy; the latter is simply further down the path https://t.co/VcSZISFxzF
According to the official statistics, the coronavirus epidemic in China has been leveling off with more than half of patients already recovered.
Only 119 new cases were reported yesterday, all but 5 of which were in Wuhan.
Animated history of Australia's national average temperature and precipitation.
The hot & dry weather in recent years is a major factor in making the current wildfires so severe. #AustraliaFires
Are #CMIP6 climate models running hot?
* Most models are not running hot
* Many hot models poorly reproduce past temperatures
* Not all model results are available
It is premature to conclude that climate sensitivity is higher than thought!

Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local
GHG impacts of food
Biggest:
1. On farm (mainly methane)
2. Land-use change
Smaller:
3. Animal feed
4. Processing
5. Transport
6. Retail
7. Packaging
Less red meat, biggest impact!
