If you look at the insane rise in global sea surface temperatures lately I don’t think we can just fall back to this old assertion.
Weather isn’t climate, this is true, but it’s going to be pretty difficult to find weather that isn’t affected but such a rapid change in the climate.
In other words, all weather is now weather like we’ve never seen before because we’ve drifted so far from the mean.
- brutusborn 3y agoWe’ve barely drifted from the mean. Most design codes have only increased storm loading by ~5% for climate change and that is conservative. The parent is right, most increases in storm damage rates are because humans are building more stuff where storms are, changes due to climate change are negligible in comparison.
