Creepy for sure, but I'd be more concerned if it was the "world's largest spider's web" instead

Hard to tell from the news reports, but yeah, those are expensive things to replace…

Looks significant, but the full picture will emerge in time as the damage bill gets calculated

Oh, very good! 👏

Thanks for all the work on the report - you all did an amazing job.

It’s not an impossible problem, though, because with careful monitoring and thorough simulation studies we can get new insights. This is why it’s important that we continue with our work to better understand these systems and their changes in a warming climate. 4/4

However, changes for severe convective storms and for large hail can, at this stage, be given only with low confidence. The report is quite correct to clearly state this uncertainty. This is because the physical scale and relative rarity of storms makes them hard to observe and model. 3/4

Severe convective storms including hail are one of ten priority hazards identified by the report. Modelled economic costs for a mid-century moderate emissions scenario are high for storms and hail. Storms are affected by climate change and can be extremely damaging, so are a key climate risk. 2/4
