0:22 I remember Sandy. We were hit hard. A lot of factors played into its impact like high tide because of the full moon and a jet stream. My block had electricity but the majority of my neighborhood didn't
I like how unbiased and full of facts this is. It's easy to blame global warming but it takes a lot of balls to just say "not sure we just dont have the data for it, but we do know x" love these kinda interviews, keep it up!
Sorry, but every time there's a super interesting and exciting topic like this on wired with super enthusiastic guests like Dr.Jason Dunion, and the camera goes to Matt...lets just say, it makes a "contrast". Off Screen may be a good idea.
As helpful as prediction and monitoring is. We really need to change our construction and engineering of homes and urban landscapes to counter the problem...
Actually he’s alive and well and just visited Ian last week. Nick Underwood introduced NOAA to those who’ve never heard of them. Kermit had a bird’s eye view and is still hanging around in September 2022.
I'm so terrified of turbulence but those pilots fly in the eye of hurricanes!! Goodness gracious!! I'm just pondering on what else do the send in the hurricanes, that makes them so catastrophic.
yes i feel like there was an undercoverage of Michael, perhaps because there wasn't a lot of buildup for it and it all happened really fast. Many people don't think back to last year and say: hey we just had one of the strongest landfalls in american history and no one's talking about it!"
Do these folks have a good water cycle model because thats the crux of this entire hurricane business. What are the various components of the water cycle and just knowing the hurricane is not good enough . What the bottomlie is how can we dissipate the hurricane before it hits land. Any thoughts about it. Even crazy ones will do.
Well they aren’t very good at tracking them bc I just spent a week in a city that’s going nuts over Dorian, which only blew off a few leaves off of the local trees.
Rhinofeed I only say that because the forecast had the eye over us for a whole week and the last day it just skrted up the east coast instead. Same thing with Irma
We have a hard time predicting what’s going to happen 24 hours in advance with hurricanes but we can some how predict what’s going to happen in 10 years with climate change. Brilliant mindset.
A few storms prior to Ian, named Fiona...flooded coastal areas of Canada. I didn't know this until morning of Ian. If our earths climate is ever 'changing'...due only to man's 'irresponsibility'...why do storms like Fiona fall off the media 'radar'? Why are 'experts' not 24/7 promoting stuff like prep supplies and such? Why do ppl who say human breath is a 'pollutant' and seas are rising quickly, keep buying coastal properties?
He seemed to be trying so hard to get the scientist to say that climate change is making hurricanes bigger or slowing them down. We just haven't had enough time and data to know conclusively. Time will tell.
It's either do this, or send "thoughts and prayers" every time hundreds of people die because they weren't evacuated in time to get out of the way of the Hurricane because we didn't understand them enough to predict their paths. Way to miss the whole point 🤷♂️
Could the interviewer maybe try to read the question at least once BEFORE the take so that it doesn't sound like he's a school kid doing a book review reading off his cards.
while we don't know much about the effect climate change has on hurricanes, we do know many other effects of cliate change far more seriously certain to happen in the next few years.
