The same AI that auto-corrects your posts? I'm dubious.

My eyesight is ls slowly degrading, I don't always see the high led typos.

Actuaries need a union like the Hollywood unions getting protections against being replaced by AI.

When you think about being replaced by AI it can drive you to drinking and ending up face down on a bar at 1 o'clock in the morning.
 
Oh noes!!!11!!!;

The world is on track for a 'catastrophic' 3.1°C of global warming by the end of this century, the UN has warned.
Responding to the report, UN secretary general, Antonio Guterres, said the world was 'teetering on a planetary tightrope. Either leaders bridge the emissions gap, or we plunge headlong into climate disaster. Mr Guterres said already people were suffering from monster hurricanes, biblical floods and record heat which was turning forests into tinder boxes and cities into saunas.

Mr Gutterres talks a lot of crap.

It is a catastrophic 80 degrees in Santa Monica today. Nice fall weather.
 
Nothing says I'm not that good at science than continually posting articles on climate from The Daily Mail and giving an individual statistic.
 
What has the Daily Mail got to do with anything? They didn't fabricate what Guterres said.
 
And in Teh Gruaniad;

The huge cuts in carbon emissions now needed to end the climate crisis mean it is “crunch time for real”, according to the UN’s environment chief. An unprecedented global mobilisation of renewable energy, forest protection and other measures is needed to steer the world off the current path towards a catastrophic temperature rise of 3.1C, a report from the UN environment programme (Unep) has found. Current carbon-cutting promises by countries for 2030 are not being met, according to the report, and even if they were met, the temperature rise would only be limited to a still-disastrous 2.6C to 2.8C.

Another last chance to save the world before the climate apocalypse befalls the earth.
 
Spain hit with one of the worst floods on record.
article said:
In the blink of an eye, the muddy water covered roads, railways and entered houses and businesses in villages on the southern outskirts of Valencia city. Drivers, with their vehicles converted into boats, had to take shelter on car roofs, while residents tried to take refuge on higher ground.

The downpour was stunning. Spain’s national weather service said that in the hard-hit locality of Chiva it rained more in eight hours than it had in the preceding 20 months, calling the deluge “extraordinary.”

When the authorities sent the alert to mobile phones warning of the seriousness of the phenomenon and asked them to stay at home, many were on the road, working or covered in water in low-lying areas or garages, which became death traps.

Training and atmospheric rivers are terms that trigger right-wingers, but this stuff is real and it is causing massive flooding events more commonly. You look at the images and it feels like the Blizzard of '78 in Massachusetts where so many were caught out in it.

Reuters had a nice brief video on the event and going into the meteorological workings of it.

Is it though? Not hardly.

yes. Your simple contrariness is demonstrably false.

Demonstrate away old chap.

As Shadowy Man indicated, it'd be a waste of time. I noted Rapid Intensification was becoming more common. You responded like you did above, I cited a source supporting the claim. And then you indicated you weren't able to tell the difference between the words "change" and "trend". So yeah, it'd be a waste of time.

Feel free to roll those eyes away.

Nature? lol!

Rapid intensification (RI) is an essential process in the development of strong tropical cyclones and a major challenge in prediction. Although much effort has been devoted to studying basin-wide temporal-spatial fluctuations, variations of global RI events in offshore regions remain uncertain. thermodynamic environments present more favorable conditions for this trend, and climate models show that global ocean warming has enhanced such changes. Although the frequency of TCs has been declining based on observational data and numerical projections errors in intensity forecasting have not substantially decreased in recent decades rendering its forecasting particularly challenging owing to the uncertainty in onset time and duration In recent work, Balaguru Increasing hurricane intensification rate Near the US Atlantic Coast. showed that the intensification rate increased in coastal areas (defined as within 200 nautical miles from the coast) of the United States, although they did not explicitly analyze the trend of RI events. clear trends have not been defined despite the direct threat posed by RI in offshore regions. etc.

Hardly damning evidence. Earth's climate has always fluctuated and has natural variation.

Baffling so many people think that the climate is static.

Here is how I responded to your earlier post about "Rapid Intensification" and highlighting the problems with these outlandish claims.


It really is an end of times cult.
