This article does a great job of explaining why the weather app on your device can be way off. Now that AI models are being used for the first time this hurricane season I wonder how they’ll do? #JMC602

Interestingly enough, the UK has one of the most aggressive climate plans in the world with a goal to reach net zero by 2050. But that doesn't mean a reversal of extreme weather- it just means the long term impacts don't get even worse. #JMC602
