It's going to be incredibly hot this week, and everyone's been talking a lot about the risks of extreme heat - but one thing that I haven't heard discussed so much is my ✨️specialist subject✨️ of wildfire 🔥🔥🔥.

Found out this project I worked on was reported in over 1500 news items! Thanks to the great folk at @WWAttribution! :o.

Doesn't then help that the usual suspects have then used this as evidence of some kind of conspiracy. Dont think Brown is a shill, reckon he made a good point and made some mistakes in his comms when things got spicy.

. are simply more interesting. Surely a robust accounting of changing risk over time with human land-use and behaviour change would also be a huge publication - it's just even harder to do well!.

Worked on this rapid attribution study for the wildfires we saw in East Canada this June. Give it a read - link to the study is at the bottom of this thread!.
Climate change made the hot, dry and windy conditions that drove the wildfires in Québec, Canada between May and July at least two times more likely. Our study also found that climate change made the weather conditions about 20-50% more intense. 📷Genevieve Pirier, @SOPFEU

Obviously cool that AI is better than 60-70% of radiologists at this, but I'm not sure that this is bad. Like who would really change their mind if someone who's credentials were being a bit better than average gave their prediction and then likely didn't explain any further?.
In this study, AI was more accurate than two thirds of radiologists, yet when radiologists had AI help their diagnoses did not improve. Why?. Humans ignored the AI’s advice when it conflicted with their views. A big barrier to future human-AI collaboration

If AI is apparently gonna be able to do 50% of all work by 2030 - is anyone else feeling frantic about saving up enough to buy a farm before then?.
