Names Begat Expectation Global Warming: Next summer will be hotter than last summer. Not borne out for the average person Global Warming: Next summer will be hotter than last summer. Not borne out for the average person Global Climate Change: How do you measure “change” in a meaningful way? Global Climate Change: How do you measure “change” in a meaningful way? Global Climate Change  Increasing Weather Volatility  Has Real Impacts (economic and public health) Global Climate Change  Increasing Weather Volatility  Has Real Impacts (economic and public health)

Possible Climate shifts:

3053 Records Broken in 2011

Two Certain Data Points Expect Increased Atmospheric Humidity

And this is Alarming Arctic Sea Ice Rapidly Dissipating Redistributes Incoming solar radiation through albedo difference

Confirms Humidity Expectation

Key Points We are now measuring a relatively rapid rate of energy redistribution on a global scale Expect disruption of seasonal jet stream placements Climate: Seasonally average weather patterns. Climate change: Unseasonable weather and extreme weather

Recent Extreme Weather (if normal, all numbers close to 60)

Less Heating Oil Used (extremely warm NE winter)

The Insurance Company Knows

Where Not to Live – US Climate Volatility Refugees …

Obstacles to Policy How many events will it take? Politically and personally, we are extremely bad at risk assessment.
