An interesting analysis of last year's temperature record. Like many other groups, in our 2024 nat cat review we said exceedinging 1.5C last year doesn't mean we breachd the Paris agreement. But this paper definitely makes you think again (if you trust the models). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Twelve months at 1.5 °C signals earlier than expected breach of Paris Agreement threshold - Nature Climate Change
The 12 months before July 2024 were more than 1.5 °C warmer than the pre-industrial baseline. Using climate models, the author shows that the first year that exceeds 1.5 °C of warming most probably al...

We have a new paper out in @science.org today, led by Helge Goessling from #AWI: The recent global temperature surge in 2023 was intensified by a record-low planetary #albedo 👉 doi.org/10.1126/scie... @thomasjung.bsky.social @ecmwf.bsky.social This is what we found (🧵1/8)

Recent global temperature surge intensified by record-low planetary albedo
In 2023, the global mean temperature soared to almost 1.5K above the pre-industrial level, surpassing the previous record by about 0.17K. Previous best-guess estimates of known drivers including anthr...

As someone that spends a lot of time attending academic/industry events related to extreme weather, I'm not so familiar with what's going on in the Earth sciences world. Do any earthquake people have any recommendations for events to attend?

@jessboyd.bsky.social and I have written about a new NOAA-led study on increasing North Atlantic hurricane variability and its implications for insurance cat model adjustments. Co-author Sang-Ki shared our article below—also check out his first post for the original paper!

Hello, I'm new here! I'm a natural hazard researcher at WTW Research Network working to better understand and quantify present-day and future natural catastrophe risk for the (re)insurance industry.

The "shape" of the 2024 hurricane season is a funny one. It got off to a spectacular start, had a sleepy middle, and then it was a sprint to the finish line. This plot shows the difference between the cumulative ACE index (a measure of hurricane activity) for 2024 compared to the 1991-2020 average.

Earlier this year, we wrote about using Large Language Models for reinsurance scenario narratives. We predicted AI may soon be able generate synthetic hazard data too. With OpenAI's new o1-preview model released yesterday, we're getting closer! It produce this scenario for Miami.

We’ve been sitting on this news for sometime, so I’m so excited WTW has announced our new research partnership with Prof Erica Thompson! ‘Escape From Model Land’ is such a great book and I can’t wait to learn from Erica as she turns her attention to Cat Models! www.wtwco.com/en-gb/news/2...

New agreement will inform the use of mathematical modelling for insurance, to help mitigate natural catastrophe risk
