No personal belief, the article makes it perfectly clear this is not just a natural phenomenon but it is being directly affected by human activity derived climate change.

The experts contradict your personal belief:

"When El Nino ends, the global weather situation should stop being so extreme,"

Also, the area has seen such heat before:

"It's been more than 70 years since a temperature like this was recorded"

Not wrong, you have not brought yet any expert that say this explanation is wrong, that claim comes only from you, which of course can't make any appeal to authority.

Clearly wrong, as the experts contradict your personal opinion.

Which has no relevance, the argument is that climate change is what is making the extreme weather events stronger and more frequent,

The expert consensus is that events such as hurricanes are not more frequent, and in fact, are less prone to reach the mainland in places such as the USA.

China has been prone to typhoons for thousands of years based on historical records, so experts agree these are nothing new to the country.

More like the consequences of human activity making weather related events more extreme and frequent. In this case with dire consequences that unfortunately will become more and more common in the future.

Nah, this was a natural disaster and will be treated as one by the US federal government.

As the experts in the article clearly say:

the National Weather Service said dry vegetation, strong winds, and low humidity fueled the fast-moving conflagration.

And as the experts in the article clearly say, we see the effect the hurricane had on this fire:

*The Maui blazes began on Tuesday night as powerful winds from Hurricane Dora, hundreds of miles to the southwest, fanned the flames.*

Terrible disaster, with Hurricane Dora being a main factor in the high winds that propelled across Maui.

Mother Nature is usually close to disasters.

Heart wrenching.

Destructive forces of nature at work. High winds propelled by Hurricane Dora were a huge factor in the spreading if the fire.

Ships from the four nations will be joined by Australian F-35 fighter jets, as well as P-8 surveillance aircraft and submarines.

A welcome collaboration.

You have no personal experience yourself. You don't climb the ladder very far for most and certainly not the enlisted. When was the last time a junior rank even made captain?

You definitely never served mate.

I was there. But anyway, Shoganai if you don't believe it. It's pretty sad we are arguing about it, but there we are. 

I didn't mean to cause offence. Have a nice evening.

Well said.

The emergence of Saudi League, Indian Super League, and such other upcoming leagues is a healthy sign. The Beautiful Game needs to be taken to every nook and corner of the football loving world.

Well said and good insight mate.

No, they are not the experts in the field have clearly concluded the sudden increase of extreme weather events is a consequence of climate change and they are predicted to increase. Obviously they are a much better reference about weather than nameless people on the internet saying they are wrong.

Wrong, as the experts in the field have clearly tracked historical meteorological events.

It didn't just start to rain yesterday.

Obviously they are a much better reference about weather than nameless people on the internet saying they are wrong.

In other words, I will listen to the experts, not the trolls trying to deny science.

Of course, you would want to butt in.

You can check my archives and discover 99.99% of the time I have used quotation marks. Missing them once does not make it bad.

Weird.

Give it a rest and move on.

This shows the need for human activity to control the effects of natural events.

Yes, these natural events (rain, earthquake, typhoons etc.) that have been occurring for eons are part of the cycle.

Constructing buildings that can withstand high winds and earthquake effects, and building dams and so forth to control flooding are basic examples of human activities that attempt to make it easier to live with nature.

There were none.

Oh yes there were because I was there. Nice try though. God only knows what you hoped to achieve by being so weird.

Amazing a poster not even in the Tokyo area is trying to argue about fireworks displayed or not in Tokyo.

Very weird.

Well, why would you do it 

Trying to look knowledgeable. Sorry, it's tacky

I have to agree.

Thank you for pointing that out.

Hopefully it results in some future restraint.

Pray tell, what about it is opinion?

Here you go:

Nuclear fusion has been touted by its supporters as a clean, abundant and safe source of energy that could eventually allow humanity to break its dependence on coal, crude oil, natural gas and other hydrocarbons driving a global climate crisis.

That is false, the experts quoted in the article do not say the hurricane was the main factor:

Multiple news sources emphasize the effect of the hurricane.

Denying it is either trolling, ignorance, or both. Plain and simple.

*The fires on Maui started spreading widely Tuesday – fueled in part by violent winds from Hurricane Dora, churning more than 800 miles away*

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/09/weather/maui-county-wildfires-hurricane-dora/index.html

I don't use sugar with my sushi rice and I use lemon instead of vinegar.

It's recommended to have a Japanese person skilled in preparing sushi to handle this.

Crayfish are not a good buy. Better something else.

A good cook can do wonders with crawfish.

Hoping for the home team.

The FDA's pill approval is based on two company studies that showed women who took Zurzuvae had fewer signs of depression over a four- to six-week period when compared with those who received a dummy pill. 

Agreed that this global health authority, the FDA, has backed several new helpful drugs lately.

Good on them.

Not learning can be a consequence of just not having the interest of properly inform yourself before making up your mind about something.

The article makes this very clear

This article is an opinion piece.

I'll evaluate the issues on my own and make my own conclusions.

You realize there's a difference between helping other countries and having authority in those countries? Because the latter the CDC does not.

Where did I ever write the CDC as "having authority"?

I wrote that the CDC is a global health authority.

You realize there is a difference between having authority and being an authority?

I was not facetious when I asked you to look up what "global" means. It has more than one meaning, in this case this one is pertinent:

Why look up just the world "global" when I used it to describe a health authority?

The CDC is. health authority, as a leader in the field of medicine, it has worldwide offices. It helps people in other countries. It's a global health authority by the fact of what it actually does. On their site they write:

CDC helps other countries build capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to their health threats through our work.

Would those other countries allow a non-health authority to help them prevent, detect, and respond to health threats? Yes? Why?No? Then you accept the CDC is a global health authority.

But you were completely unable to argue how this is the case, that means you accepted this is a complete misrepresentation you made, else you would have used any argument.

Looks like when someone affirmatively proves you wrong, you resort to this non sequitur, the tool of a troll.

At this point I need to ask: Do you know what "global" means? Want to look it up again, just to be safe?

Happy to help you understand this. The US based CDC, for example, is a global health authority. Why? Well, let:'s let the CDC break it down to you:

CDC helps other countries build capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to their health threats through our work.

https://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/strategy/default.htm

Easy to comprehend, isn't it? Or, do you want to try and contradict what the CDC does at a global level?

That is not something that automatically applies all over the world, other countries can still have many other things to try first before failing so spectacularly as the US did

The experts in this article have a different, and scientifically sound view:

*Fixing global childhood obesity epidemic*

Not at all, it is precisely the global authority that is sounding the alarm for this and many other public health problems and how to solve them.

No, a US global health authority is sounding the alarm here:

*The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has described five broad categories of social determinants of health.*

Again trying to spam completely off topic things that are not even related to the article? that repeatedly had your comments deleted.

A source that proves your personal claim wrong is not spam.

You're just being a troll. You challenge posters for sources. Here's another that contradicts you.

You're just trolling everyone here when they prove you wrong.

Dozens of people injured and fatal victims by the typhoon are proof that there is plenty to be worried about for those areas that are still in the area predicted to be affected.

No need to worry about the sea water temperature. You're promoting fear mongering again.

There is no "global health authorities in the US" is either one but not both, 

"Global health authorities" in the US is correct linguistically and factually.

No, it has not, it is part of a priority in public health, your problem is thinking that automatically means categorizing drugs used against obesity as essential,

You're the one who argues that the drugs are essential for treating obesity. It's your problem.

Again, the WHO agency missed the ball big time.

Experts criticise WHO delay in sounding alarm over Ebola outbreak

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/22/experts-criticise-world-health-organisation-who-delay-ebola-outbreak

Looks like a global health issue, which global health authorities in the US have correctly identified.

The experts of the global authority in public health rejected the proposal of the US academics, there is nothing strange with that, US problems and priorities are not the world problems and priorities.

Do you have anything to contradict the expertise of the professionals that conform the panel? obviously a nameless person on the internet trying to contest the valid appeal to authority of the WHO is not an argument, it is not even an excuse.

Well, obviously the WHO agency missed the ball again, as they failed to identify noter global health crisis.

You are not siding with any expert of the field, the claim that there was a cooling is not supported by any expert, is a misleading and mistaken personal conclusion that runs opposite to what the experts have said about the current situation.

Why be anti-science?

I'm totally with the experts in the field, and the facts present in the article such as the last four Julys being cooler:

The country's July total was only eclipsed by that for July 2018,

Pretending the lack of regulation do not bring unnecessary risks is precisely what "blindly invest" would be, arguing how those extra risks do not exists amounts to not seeing them.

Why would you blindly invest in the financial markets, with all the inherent risks, but be scared of investing in crypto?

 sea water temperatures are so far normal, he said.

Nothing to worry about then.
