Google researchers reportedly identified and removed about 130,000 YouTube channels tied to coordinated, mass-produced “AI slop.” The bigger takeaway: AI-assisted content is not the problem—repetitive, low-value content with little human originality is. https://t.co/SxHzfAzG6u

It's difficult to attribute wildfires to climate change the science doesn't support it. Man still is the main culprit with 85% of wildfires being caused by humans per Wildland Fire Management Information (WFMI) and U.S. Forest Service Research Data Archive.

From the new National Academies Report on climate attribution:

Science linking wildfires🔥to climate change is Low Confidence and Low Understanding.

Too complicated, confounding factors to make sweeping claims.

@RyanWeather So I'm guessing WBGT is even more extreme than the Heat Index?

[Dave Kile @davidkile]

@RyanWeather Can the they do an autopsy the hottest decade on record the 1930's and explain that one for us too.

[Dave Kile @davidkile]

Most city temperatures are measured at airports, often among the hottest locations in a metro area. Philadelphia International Airport opened in 1940 with a 125,000 sq. ft. terminal. Today, PHL covers about 113 million sq. ft., with more than 3.25 million sq. ft. of terminal space, surrounded by runways, ramps, concrete, asphalt, glass, steel, and jet engines. Urban heat islands matter.

@TonyPannWBAL thanks for keeping it perspective

@photoinduced is that link working?

The western and eastern parts of the country have demonstrated some truly contrasting weather patterns over the last six months.

The data already shows a meaningful El Niño risk. There’s no need to inflate it with raw, uncorrected model output that makes the forecast look more extreme than it responsibly is.

[Ryan Maue @RyanWeather]

Do the people sharing raw CFSv2 output for Niño 3.4 realize that seasonal forecasting requires bias or distribution correction?

+2.0°C (peak) still Super, but let's not get carried away with Hyper (+4°C) charts.

@laparisa @Jeopardy Awesome. Finally a question I could have answered.

[Ryan Maue @RyanWeather]

Research on "super long" La Niña
like we just saw from 2020-2023 (triple-dipper)

5 previous super long Niña events since 1950

Not too surprising, but the latest NMME is out and continues to show increased confidence in a strong and perhaps near-record El Niño this fall/winter. The *mean* is now around +2.5C, and that's being dragged down by the low outlier (which is still around +2C). The forecast look for the Atlantic peak season continues to be about as hostile as you'll see: strong Niño, +PMM, average to cool MDR (-AMOish). The extremely dry precip anomalies reflect how hostile the Atlantic basin will be for convection and TC development this year. On the other hand, I think this year has a large-scale setup that could result in a few Hawaii threats, moreso than any year in a long time.

[Dave Kile @davidkile]

This 1995 NYT article pushed speculative claims: “..most of the beaches on the East Coast of the United States would be gone in 25 years.” This kind of agenda-driven narrative has gone on far too long and is just plain junk. It undermines credible science and fuels long-term mistrust.

[Dave Kile @davidkile]

Looking forward to learning more. Can AI trained on reanalysis outperform physics-based models in real-time forecasting?

Since my website still isn't ready here's another teaser from my pad camera 😜

This is a crop from the print I'll offer from this launch- available soon. I'll send out an email when it's ready, make sure you join my email list at the link in my bio if you want to be included!

[Dave Kile @davidkile]

This is not fine, it's terrible. The IPCC moved to SSP5-8.5 and SSP2-4.5 many years ago. Knowingly and continuing to advocate for RCP 8.5 is reckless and irresponsible. Science is centered on facts not agendas. #climate @CPRBlog

@ryanweather It will be interesting to see if the algorithms start changing this week.
