Human-induced climate change continues to warm the oceans, which provide the memory of past accumulated effects. The resulting environment, including higher ocean heat content and sea surface temperatures, invigorates tropical cyclones to make them more intense, bigger, and longer lasting and greatly increases their flooding rains.

Looks like they are, yup. -

Roughly 22% of the global ocean surface experienced at least one severe to extreme marine heat wave event in 2023, according to the report. Polar ocean warming is especially pronounced; 2023 had the least polar sea ice ever recorded. Each decade of the last nearly 50 years saw a 4% loss of Arctic sea ice as surface water temperature increased.
The findings mirror the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on the ocean and cryosphere, which also shows that global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions has resulted in marine heat waves. -

Antarctic sea ice has reached its maximum extent for the year, clocking in at the second lowest in a record stretching back to 1979, according to provisional data from the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC).

Coconut water. Listen, my friend, I just drank some, and I'm significantly more hydrated than you. I'm hydrated. I'm a whole lot wetter than you. People in tropical locations are never thirsty - they discovered the miracle of coconut water. Crack, slurp, crack, slurp - and you fill your glass up. Now, each coconut maybe contains 6 ounces of coconut juice. Now if you've got a 16 ounce glass, you're going to want to break 2 coconuts and hydrate yourself. Or just chop it up and sprinkle it on a coconut cake. You understand? It's called coconut flakes!
Listen, the next big thing is going to be potato water! People in Ireland are already working on it when they're not brooding over cigarettes. Potato water's going to be huge! It is the unfermented water from a potato. All moisture should come from nature and be available in easy-open containers. Coconuts are too hard to open. Nature tells you when it's wet and engorged and ready for you to drink! You press a potato - you get a beautiful fresh juice, which is just like orange juice, only better! I've also been trying cactus water, but I impaled myself.
Nature has all kinds of water. Sometimes, when you're thirsty in the desert, you can grab one of those land mammals and then squeeze water clean out of it. And sometimes I get so into hydration that I let animals pee in my mouth. Yep. I just love some me some organic water. -

This mismatch, between catastrophes the government has budgeted for and the actual toll of overlapping or supersize disasters, keeps happening—after Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Maria, Hurricane Florence. Almost every year now, FEMA is hitting the same limits, Carlos Martín, who studies disaster mitigation and recovery for the Brookings Institution, told me. Disaster budgets are calculated to past events, but “that’s just not going to be adequate” as events grow more frequent and intense. Over time, the U.S. has been spending more and more money on disasters in an ad hoc way, outside its main disaster budget, according to Jeffrey Schlegelmilch, the director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia Climate School.

I also own and drive around two large pick up trucks, one for work and one for personal use. And they use a lot of gas. -
