The Northern Hemisphere has not been OK. Heatwaves in Europe, record wildfires in California, flooding in Africa, many, many tropical storms, and possibly the highest temperature reliably recorded on Earth. All while dealing with COVID-19.

Dr Wehner said these increased numbers could be entirely a natural variation. The pattern of ocean temperatures is known to strongly control the number of tropical storms, but really we do not understand the effect of climate change on the total number of tropical storms.

But the observations suggest the extra rain is more like double that, according to Dr van Oldenborgh. Any preventable loss of life is devastating, but in a historical context, 129 deaths is astoundingly low. Early warnings and communications have since been put in place, along with elevated concrete structures that can protect from the wind and flooding in low-lying areas.

He's the first Indigenous winner in the prize's history Fantastic, good choice. Good to see this win. It was the obvious frontrunner but you just never know until the winner is announced. 2020 the year of bullshit political correctness. There were so many more deserving winnings but I guess they were not black. The Sydney Olympics all over again.
