A nice map of the areas likely to be most affected by weather extremes.

The rise of weather extreme events can readily documented now that the predicted effects of climate change are now being experienced on a larger and larger scale. It's not going to stop.

I subscribe to the "Carbon Brief" email list. A link therein in recent days pointed to the "Mapping How Climate Change Affects Extreme Weather Around the World."

While some portion of what remains of a putative "Environmental Movement" is devoted to the worship of Elon Musk's cars and other things having no effect whatsoever on climate change, climate change is still real, and the rise of extreme events is also real.

This link may of interest to look at reality, as opposed to religiously repeating mantras about what was popularly predicted by pop environmentalists to work in the 1970's, didn't work, isn't working and won't work.


Mapped: How climate change affects extreme weather around the world

Of course, the destruction caused by these events will never match Fukushima as a tragedy, but still, it might be slightly important. I don't know, you tell me.

Have a nice weekend.
