I am happy to announce that one of the biggest projects I have ever undertaken has just gone live: the THB Global Extreme Weather and Climate Change Dashboard — with 288 indicators from 57 variables across 8 phenomena and for the entire world and every continent. The site also has a dedicated page for normalized losses and a consistency check with the IPCC AR6, and more.
The THB Global Extreme Weather and Climate Change Dashboard applies the IPCC’s detection framework — the same standard its sibling site, the US Extreme Weather Dashboard, uses for the contiguous United States — globally, across 8 phenomena and on one shared statistical standard. No comparably broad, global, IPCC-aligned trend-detection dashboard exists publicly: most public climate-hazard tools cover either a single phenomenon or a single country, not consistent global detection across an entire hazard set.
Tropical cyclones, extratropical cyclones, extreme heat, cold spells & frost, river flooding, drought (hydrological and agricultural/ecological), and wildfire drive nearly all of the human and economic toll of weather and climate: they account for 99.7% of global weather/climate-related economic losses and 97.7% of weather/climate-related deaths.
The new site is full of information, data, analyses, graphs, literature and much more.
Please go explore the site, let me know what you think, and how I can improve it, as it is a work in progress. Click on the button below to check it out.
This post will serve as a running comment board for discussion of the site.

Wow! Fantastic effort and such a valuable resource!!! Nice work! Sea level could also be of interest -- but the items tracked here are of great value. Sea level would be a good addition because it was one of Gore's key triggers used to panic everyone. Another commenter below mentioned polar ice for the same reason, I suppose. I would like to see Earth "greening", food supply, starvation, air quality, drinking water, life span, infant mortality, etc. -- some of the items the Climate people never mention because they are, generally, good news easily attributed to either increased CO2 and/or nasty-old "anthropogenic" activities.
Thanks. Like the old Chinese Torture of dripping water on the forehead of the victim till he succumbs and confesses, is the only route to getting some sort of admission from the activists that all this "climate alarmism," is just that. The climate of the planet has changes for millennia and in a normal natural cycle. This hoax about all this climate change being attributes solely to the burning of fossil fuels, is misinformation. We all know Al Gore, once hailed by the left as a climate crusader, now faces a reality check two decades after his film An Inconvenient Truth thrust climate alarmism into the mainstream. In a recent interview with ABC News, Gore insisted that scientists were “dead right” about global warming, despite a litany of predictions that have failed to materialize. As the world marks the 20th anniversary of the documentary, critics are highlighting a growing chasm between Gore’s dire warnings and the data that contradicts them. All these windmills and solar panels just cannot produce the necessary power to fuel a modern world. Roger, keep up the good work. Lets hope your reward will be apparent, before you cease to walk among us.
