    Yeah, not the worst year overall for climate disasters, but it's a vague enough description there were definitely going to be things like all the temperature records that were broken you could point to as the 'worst event'. Also the Canadian wildfires were definitely big enough to qualify as at least 'a big ass fire'.

      Fair. Per the old joke, "this is the worst year yet, but on the plus side it'll be the best year going forward".

      Ah, pffff. Canada.
