quote:The report will sketch out possible future scenarios that will vary depending on the decisions taken by governments, businesses and individuals. The next year and a half is likely to be crucial because world leaders will agree rescue plans for nature and the climate at two big conferences at the end of 2020.

Two big conferences at the end of 2020, huh? Be a real shame if a US veto annihilated that UN treaty wouldn't it? I wonder who's in office ----oh. It's okay, I'm sure we'll have another chance. It's not like it'll be a problem for several decades anyway, so what's the rush? I'm sure there's nothing at all that might change that optimistic estimate.

Nothing will change in the USA until a few thousand or hundred thousand displaced citizens who have lost everything to floods/whatever descend on DC with weapons and demand action immediately. Then a loooot of them are gonna get killed.

Anyway a massive cyclone is hitting India right now. https://www.npr.org/2019/05/03/719953153/cyclone-fani-slams-indian-coast-forcing-millions-to-evacuate quote:India's eastern coast has been pounded by Cyclone Fani, an "extremely severe" storm that has torn the roofs off houses and forced millions of people to evacuate. It has also reportedly killed at least two people. https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/02/india/cyclone-fani-evacuations-india-intl/index.html quote:What is expected to be India's strongest tropical cyclone to make landfall in 20 years is barreling toward 100 million people on the country's east coast, prompting officials to begin emergency evacuations. What I find interesting is that the news is all reporting this as "the strongest cyclone in 20 years." Which is accurate. However they leave out that the one 20 years ago was the strongest ever recorded cyclone in the North Indian Ocean. It's just framed as if "oh well these happen like this every once in a while" not as "these storms are getting stronger and more frequent globally."

The Thanos snap is a metaphor for climate change, even if the writers didn't realize it. The opening scenes of Endgame are the best part of the movie because they show humanity trying to cope with the gigadeaths and everyone's depressed and stuff.

Pretty sure they realized it and it's a not very opaque way to whitewash the mass genocide which is not just approaching, but already underway.

Same with typhoon? ya all 3 are interchangeble and just like depends on hwere. im 2 lazy to google which is which but hurricanes are atlantic, typhoons are pacific, and cyclones are like indian. theres some more specific location like southern vs northern pacific but that's the geist of it. cyclones sound the coolest tho so they should all be called cyclones. also the best popsicle

We call them hurricanes in the EPac and Atlantic basins, typhoon in WPac. Elsewhere we just use cyclone, but they are all a type of tropical cyclone. Different meteorological agencies oversee different basins, so we end up with different classification systems in different regions.

“cyclones” are just low pressure systems, as opposed to “anti cyclones “ which are high pressure systems. tropical cyclones are warm core and come from the tropics. since almost all low pressure systems from the right latitudes count their wind speeds can be close to nothing to in a tropical depression to 160 mph category 5 hurricane or super typhoon. so yes you can call hurricanes cyclones like you can call tornados whirlwinds
