Is the weather actually becoming more extreme? - R. Saravanan
Explore the differences between weather and climate - what they are, how we predict them, and what those predictions can tell us.
--
From 2016 to 2019, the world saw record-breaking heat waves, rampant wildfires, and the longest run of category 5 tropical cyclones on record. The number of extreme weather events has been increasing for the last 40 years, and current predictions suggest that trend will continue. So, is the increase in extreme weather due to random chance, or changing climate? R. Saravanan investigates.

@Sally Hope there are some studies that suggest that solar panels aren’t efficient enough to generate less net carbon emissions than when they are manufactured, especially in China. They also potentially hurt the earth through our mining and materials productions needed to make them. Wind is also inefficient and potentially harmful to ecosystems because birds hit them . Water is really going nowhere from what I can see and geothermal hasn’t been effective. However nuclear fission power produces much less carbon and the waste can be safely stored. Plus many countries are trying to be the first to make effective fusion reactors. So that is our best option.

@Hrishik Raj oh I know that everything has its ups and downs. I’m just saying some are better than others. Also fusion may be no easy goal but it also will be a gold mine for the energy industry and that’s why people are investing so much money into it. I also mentioned nuclear fission for a reason because I believe that’s our best option right now considering how much we’ve advanced when handling that type of waste.

Absolutely phenomenal video 👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿 Ted-Ed never fails to educate and explain simply but with complexity, while also creating beautiful animations. Wow!
These videos explain things in such a simple, concise way. Thanks guys!
Some simple things we can all do in everyday life: - Reduce your consuption of meat and dairy products - Prefer walking, bicycling and public transport - Save energy: take shorter showers, turn off lighting and electonics you don't need at the moment - Repair stuff, instead of buying new immediately - Recycle and only buy what you need ...and much more... I know not everyone can do everything, but most of these things are simple, and the cumulative effect of a lot of people doing small things will have a real effect on slowing down climate change. Also, I've noticed that showing example really makes people change their ways. I've definitely made lasting changes hearing what others are doing. We're pack animals and we wish to do what others do. We humans need a paradigm shift. If we play our cards right though, we'll eventually find solutuions, fix this mess and have a lush and clean planet where all the latitudes are habitable.

The climate change we experience nowadays is not (only) cuz of the pollution right now, but its actually just the result of the past dacades' pollution which was much much worse. The climate change therefore will get even worse in the future thats why it has to be dampend right now.

Does Met-Ocean interactions could possibly determine the weather near its region? If its so, could it be mean that a certain region with high changes between Met-Ocean interaction has to be realy difficult to forecast its weather?
Germany's weather is getting pretty unusual too. It's like every summer is getting worse and worse. A few years ago (about 4 years ago) it used to snow here in southern Germany but now not even a bit. We can still change sth though if people are willing to change their mentality. Hopefully
