... insurance or something and we wanted to know what the 5% or 2% chance is so that we're protected against such a devastating impact, what, what are those kind of numbers?

Yeah.

So, um, I mean, back up a little, uh, because yeah, uh, th- there's this, this discussion of scientific reticence, and I think the sea level community has really taken that to heart over the last decade, right? So that's why, like in the sixth assessment report, we spent quite a bit of time talking about, okay, well these are- You know, these are the processes we understand with medium, uh, at least a medium level of confidence.

Different models predict them, we agree on them.

But then here are these other processes which we poorly understand, and then we've already actually talked about those.

Right? I've talked about the ice sheets in the build.

That, that is, like, the, the primary thing driving high-end sea level rise.

Um, what, um, what effect has the current political administration had on your work?

Do you have suggestions on how we could do that better?

Well, so the heat index is actually not a bad way of doing this.

The wet bulb temperature is more tied to what's going on physiologically.

In the American Climate Perspectives, which is the report we did last year for the Risky Business Project, we took wet bulb temperature and divided extreme wet bulb temperatures up into four categories.

So you just think about certain range you might call, say, uncomfortably muggy.

So, you know, if you think about Washington, D.C., there might be, say, five or seven weeks in a typical summer that would have wet bulb temperatures that are uncomfortably muggy, saying what would be 74 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit waves.

Then if wet bulb temperatures get a little higher, say the 80 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit days, those are the days where you really have Very dangerous conditions.

How will we cope with this climate mess now that we have changed Earth's primary systems?
