Strange Weather

Is the weather actually becoming more extreme? – R. Saravanan



Explore the differences between weather and climate – what they are, how we predict them, and what those predictions can tell us.

From 2016 to 2019, the world saw record-breaking heat waves, rampant wildfires, and the longest run of category 5 tropical cyclones on record. The number of extreme weather events has been increasing for the last 40 years, and current predictions suggest that trend will continue. So, is the increase in extreme weather due to random chance, or changing climate? R. Saravanan investigates.

Here's an interesting idea for a video: "Can YOU solve climate change?" Talk about how much climate impact a private individual has vs a corporation or an industry

Work together….
Seems that's the biggest hurdle, getting people to work together. People will even recklessly spread a virus and wipe out their own loved ones. Is there any hope for getting enough people working together? I'm not sure anymore…

This didn't discuss the "Is the weather actually becoming more extreme?" question at all. It just stated it as a fact. Will anyone discuss points like "Have we proven it or are we better at recording?", "Is it increasing or do we just hear about it more?" or "are hurricanes more destructive or are cities different now?"(more expensive to repair? harder to escape?) I want to know why we are so sure that the last forty years have been more extreme, not just told once again "scientists say yes". Also "chaotic" does not mean extreme here rather more random and unpredictable.

Nice animation, but it did not answer the question: Has the number of severe weather events incresed and are events more severe?

JVD July 28, 2021 at 1:15 am

11months ago and I’m here to answer your question.
YES, extreme weather is becoming more extreme and is happening NOW. In different parts of the Globe.

The people can and will work together, but we all know it's next to meaningless unless we can figure out a way to cut our biggest causes of emissions. Big Elite and Big Corp will constantly work against us.

I like the way animators use a metaphorical image of the butterfly effect.
Amazing animation btw, thanks a lot.

Soooo… when was the climate not changing. When was climate stability? Just sayin

Doctor Bosconovitch October 27, 2021 at 5:58 am

A video titled "Is the weather actually becoming more extreme?" should discuss whether events we keep hearing about are accurate and if storms are worse than they were in the past. This video does not do that

Canem Cave November 2, 2021 at 10:42 am

didn't answer the question. It implied an answer with the 1M nuclear bombs, but the pretty cartoon did not actually anser the question
