The last major volcanic eruptions were associated with cooling of the troposphere over large continental areas and oceans, while El Nino conditions increased temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific. Decadal simulations of the EC Earth model, initialized with climate observations and forced with an estimate of volcanic aerosol optical thickness, reproduced this pattern. The main source of skill in the first two years is initialization, but after that, the contribution of volcanic forcing becomes substantial in certain regions. Two simple protocols for real-time forecasting are investigated, using past volcanic eruption forcing to simulate new ones and applying a two-year exponential decay to initial stratospheric aerosol loads. The second protocol allows partial reproduction of the skill attained with observed forcing in retrospective forecasts. This article was authored by M. M. Menegos, Uppelbauer, O.

ARIA LEGENDS WELCOME TO A REDDIT REVIEW! We're holding the mic this time, literally mic. Like, say hello mic. I've seen the end of the world. Say, you can talk, you can talk. It has been a hot second since I've done a reddit review, and I thought, why not? Let's um, let's, it's been 8 months I think, something like that. So, we're back on the game people read it, to see if it died, or whether you guys actually still posted content. It's been a while. Right, let's have a look what we got here. So true. Beaver's box. Lydia, we've done that before. You've done, that's an old meme. I'm pretty sure that was, we used that in the other one. Did we not? That was in the other video. Rip, your time has come. Wait, what's this for? You're even trying anymore? I've been away so long, that people are now posting their speed builds.  Oh, that's cool though. They put loads of time into it. We should rank this. I'm going to give this three beaver babies out of ten beaver babies. Try harder next time. Meet after a long session of playing Drossel World Alive, and then start to play Drossel World the game. Distraction, we're shield, we're rubber, we're bleach, we're rain, we're sucko data, we're crit. They're two completely different beasts, I'm afraid. But yes, I want to know. What news? How did this happen? It's got to be a Photoshop, right? There's not actually news with just orangutans. Although there is, I'd love to see it. What's this? Horizon Zero Dawn? We don't play that game anymore. Wait, what? I thought I did that. Okay, cool. I was checking my keyboard. What am I clicking? This seems cursed. Do I want to see this? Yeah, you know what? Yeah, I'm happy with that. I'm happy with that. Wait, what? Oh, what's this? I think that means she's dead. What? This is the world we all want. Is it though? Is it? Is this the world we really want? Sometimes you've got to stop and ask yourself. Why did you draw this? Me, when will Beaver do a Reddit video? Beaver after Reddit but do. Hey, it's... Whoa! Oh my God, that's so cool. Because that is the start of my Deadline series. Where did it get the green screen? Jay Park, Helicopter from? That's awesome. I want that. Ooh. Ooh, we should watch that. Feathers on dinosaurs.  We have to watch that when we get struck. I feel like we have to. Let's go find this. I want to see this. Yes! Oh wait, it's... Oh God. Wait, what? Excuse me? The following content is identified by the YouTube community as inappropriate or offensive to some audiences.  I've reported this. Jesus, okay. Oh, what's this? This is nine years ago. This is before Jurassic World. There are a couple things that I don't like about being in my generation, like probably not seeing Martian colonization and also being too young to become part of an 80's hair band. But there is one piece of timing that I got perfect. When I was a kid, dinosaurs were still cool. We knew just enough about the bird dinosaur connection to think that dinosaurs were smart and fast. But we hadn't start adding plumage yet. Yeah, but if you think about it, Jurassic Park was made when, like, we thought that's what dinosaurs looked like. We now know they don't look like that. So, I get what she's trying to say for the same time. No? Every time scientists release new images of what dinosaurs probably looked like, they look sillier, okay? Science doesn't ruin much, but it has ruined this. Okay, whether they're giving velociraptors wings or making a T-Rex look like it would sit in a cage and say, Polly, you want a cracker, it's horrible the way facts are ruining drama. Is this how she really feels? She's just reading a teleprompter. I liked the birds. I liked the idea that ostriches can kick people to death. Oh, she's got issues. I like the idea that ostriches can kick people to death. It's my favorite pastime.  That's great.   Any dino monster movie now would be a comedy and that is sad. I mean, would it really be a comedy though? I mean, we talk about now we got prehistoric planet, whatever it is that's coming out, that basically seems to be the most scientific take we've had on dinosaurs for a triple A budget, it seems. Even frigging David Ambrose on it. God knows how long he's going to be around for, but Jesus, at least he got to do a frigging dinosaur thing. It looks awesome. I can't wait for that. Yeah, I think if you had dinosaurs jump out if feathers and like, then yeah, it would be comedy, but you get the right scene. Anything can be terrifying. You don't have to just like make it scary looking for it to be scary. Want more of this? No. I don't want any more of that. What happened to it? Okay, let's check these comments. Science, birds of all from dinosaurs, people, awesome science. Most of them are also likely feathered people. No, impossible. No, you're ruining my childhood. Yeah, there you go. It's a grizzly bear not scary because it's fluffy. It's terrifying.  Nah, that's terrifying. I like how she feels she's getting solid facts with Jurassic Park. Yeah, it got outdated pretty quick. And this is 2012. So we're still like three years out from Jurassic World. So there was really a big push once that movie came out. I felt. But yeah, here is what it is. Yeah, I saw this. I saw this one. The animation, this is amazing. I appreciate like the Carnot looking thing, like toast. That looks awesome. Was it Rick Raptor that did Spinoe? I think he sang to... We don't talk about Spinoe. Okay. Okay, let's have a look at this. Predictions for Camp Cretaceous. Dave, Roxy and Darius's brother go to Isla Nubla to look for the kid. Drop, drop Dave and Roxy. They haven't been in it, I think, since season one. They're not coming back. They've sidelined those characters. I don't know why. They struck such a chord with the audience. Nobody cares about them. They start doing anyway. They land on Nubla and bump into each other and look at some herbivores. It's a great plot. Toro submits upon them. Oh, it submits? You mean Toro submits upon them and chases Dave, Roxy and Darius's brother. Puffy shows up and fights Toro. Eventually, we already had that though. After the encounter with Toro, Dave, Roxy and Darius's brother follow Bumpy to the kid's treehouse. They fight off some copies that have settled it. This feels like something that I would have written if I was a kid, 100%. They start looking for- Yeah, I gotta say it like that. They start looking for their kids with Bumpy. They come to the Main Street. Think their kids may be there if it supplies soon as they get close to Main Street. Bumpy stopped walking and calls out to them. They don't listen. They look around and they- Rexy bro! They realize not why it's to explore here. And Runorth, past Bumpy, as she follows- So it just cuts off. After going north for a wheel, they see the ruins of Jurassic Park and the Scorpius Rex is skeleton. Wait, is this just season five? The kids aren't even there. Suddenly an adult Allosaurus appears and fight Bumpy. The football pier has flipped over.  A noise is heard from the forest. Everyone looks, it's in the direction. Stegoceratops appears! Credits. That's not what we come for. Credacious season five. You know what it is? I think I might have preferred that than what we got in season four with the robots and chads and brads and God knows whatever they were. I'll happily take that. At least we've actually got some story about people trying to find them, but from going off with this whole weird sci-fi route. Wait, what? Dino World's 600 hours of play. What is this? Oh, is that Minecraft? Ooh. Ooh. You know what it is? I would kind of like to do surviving on a dinosaur island for like, for like 600 hours or something like that. Look at this. That looks so cool. And there is definitely a way to have dinosaurs in the world. We played that, isn't there? We should definitely do that. Hey! Relevancy! Cow-cow-and-egg memes. This sub. Oh, thank God. Actually, I haven't seen a single one yet. It's brilliant. Oh, no, there it is. I looked literally two seconds later. That's beautiful. Someone saved the sub. What does this say? When you make pretty good memes, but the sub is dying because before doing the video on it. Made by a guy having to do .jpeg on Pixlr because he's running out of storage. You literally, this is all you're doing on the sub, is it? You'll pick your whole computer's filled with sub pictures. What? What is everyone like? Jurassic Park Build is so much. Like, yeah, it was great for the time. But if it came, you wouldn't want to play it, would you? Would you? Would you really? We have Jurassic World Alive and Jurassic World The Game, and loads of other dinosaur games now, like The Isle and everything like that. If Jurassic Park Builder came back, would you play it? Hands down? Like it came back exactly the same? Don't lie to me. Don't, don't lie to me. You're lying to me. You're lying. Wait, what's this? Whoa, hold on. Hold on, what's this? Every time Beaver has been killed by a Karno in the Isle in chronological order. Whoa! Wait, hold on. Wow, I've been killed by Karno's a lot. Maybe I should be Karno. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe I'll be alright then. What? Posting Karko and Kid Ring memes is cringe after like a month or two months. I was making more. Those cringe. Fun facts. The reason why Game and Beaver doesn't check this sub is because all of these memes are unfunny posts from that year olds. Right. Ten year olds. Post some funny stuff. And I'll make more subreddit videos. I promise. Money. My God. I didn't expect a spoiler like that for Jurassic World Dominion already. Jesus. Could you imagine? They did that. Still waiting Beaver. This will continue to be relevant until Beaver makes another meme video. Me and other Reddit waiting. No. No. Maybe I shouldn't upload this video. Just cut it. Yeah, just cut it. That's fine. Yes! Yes! Oh my God. This is posted on Jurassic memes.  This needs more! Universal. Wait, what did they put? Oh yeah. There was like a toy unboxing thing channel. And then obviously these are two others. I think Brave Wilderness. That's right. And then somebody else. And there's just me. I'm like, I do Jurassic content. I have never once had an email. Or basically made no contact with Universal. I... I don't know. I don't genuinely know what I need to do. In a way, I'm kind of like, maybe that's for the best. They would just call them salutes and move on. Oh, let's look at the comments. Game and Beaver. I remember him. I used to watch his various Jurassic Park game content all the time. Same here. He still is special in my eyes. I am a special. Yes. Sometimes we have to tell you about a child. Scorpius Rex was the second hybrid. I made one mistake in a video, guys. Good God. Scorpius Rex was the second hybrid. Yeah. I like this. This is a fun way to do this video. It's different. I can actually move around. And I can even talk off camera. And you can still hear me. It's brilliant. Oh, thank you. I don't remember doing this face. I caught me in a beautiful, a beautiful time there. Thank you. Thank you for posting this. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I need to grade this. This needs grading. Who have we got best of the best? Ian Malcolm. Sam Neal. Okay. Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay. So the worst characters in the franchise is apparently Lockwood and Maisie. I would disagree with that. I think, I think we need to put Zara down there. The brothers, the brothers never, never really, never really want for the brothers. You notice the tops are basically just Jurassic Park and Lost World. Why is John Hammond not best of the best? It should be another tier. It says just John Hammond. That's what that should be. Oh my God, there's more. There's more of these weird dinosaurs. I got really lucky, I think, if this is the same thing. Yeah. Where the hell is that blue? Did I burn it? Did I burn it? I don't know where it is. That's good. They don't know I buy dinosaur toys to review them for myself and not give them to kids even if I'm 30. Yeah. I'm not going to make a Drosser World Reddit video until the minute comes out. Those kids could read the Beaver Babies. And I think, I think we'll end it on that one. I think that, that is, that is beautiful. I want that framed. I want that, I want that on the wall, somewhere, just that picture, that is gorgeous. Could you send that to me? That is beautiful. Anyway guys, we're going to wrap it up here. I want to see better memes, good memes, or else no more Reddit video. You've been warned. If you enjoyed this video guys, leave a like and until next time, I'll see you Beaver Babies later. Bye.


The Senate has passed the 2023 Appropriation Bill at 21.83 trillion Naira, an increase of 1.32 trillion Naira from the 20.51 trillion Naira budget proposal of President Mohammad Abu Hari. A breakdown of the budget indicates an allocation of 967.5 billion Naira for statutory transfers, 6.6 trillion Naira for debt servicing, 8.3 trillion Naira for recurrent expenditure, and 5.9 trillion Naira for capital expenditure. Details in this report. The Senate said an upward review of the 2023 Appropriation Bill was particularly important to improve the funding of some critical projects such as Zainik, National Population Commission, the Nigerian Army and other security agencies. Through the harmonious appropriation process, the executive submitted for funding some items of expenditure to the committee which were not included in the bill as submitted by the president or received inaugural funding. I want to take this opportunity to urge the executive arm of government to implement the 2022 Appropriation Act. We have also passed the supplementary budget for 2022. Meanwhile, the Senate set up a special committee to engage the central bank to get clear details of what the ways and means advances which the president is seeking approval of is all about. This was after the Senate turned rowdy on account of the controversy which led to its beans stood down. Senators Betty Apiafi and Aleem Dume voiced the concerns that they lacked documents conveyed in full details or the ways and means is meant for. Why the report should be presented is for us to know what happened and then you can raise your point of order. Came into this chamber this morning and documents that we are supposed to use for the day is supposed to be distributed to us. We have considered many. Now it is now it is now that the chairman of finance committee distributed four page report to two. It's four pages with the signatures including the signatures of the senators. But it's only 2.719 trillion. Mr. President, it will be an abuse of our personal selves and against our privilege that we come here and it was requested that we are spending this money on behalf of Nigerians. This prompted the Senate president to set up the special committee after the Senate headed to a closed door session to resolve the matter. The special committee, the special committee to be chaired by the Senate leader, Senator Ebra Ablai Gowir. A week ago, President Mohamed Buhari had in a letter read in plenary said the ways and means are advances from the central bank to the federal government for emergency funding of the late receipt of fiscal deficit or expected cash.


Pirates in fourth place, but they're just five games back. The Cubs, though, now have fallen out of first place with that loss. Since June 9, they're playing sub 500 ball. Should we be worried about their inconsistency? I mean, I don't know that I'd worry about them. That division's tough, as you just mentioned. You could make a case for really any of the teams. There's no dominant team there. And I think we get confused. We think the Cubs are that team that won the World Series. They're not. They have a lot of flaws. You know, the starting pitching, especially with Hamels going on the IL. They just signed Kimbrell. It's going to take him a while to get acclimated to everything. But that division used to be able to just go get wins. You could go to Cincinnati and you were getting wins. Well, Cincinnati now is a thorn in everybody's side. And they are a very competitive team. The Cubs are a good team. Just like most of the National League, there's a ton of good teams. There's the Dodgers. And I'm not saying it just because of the Dodgers. And then there's everybody else. And the Cubs are one of those everybody else. I'm also doing the NL Central. Think about it. Only five and a half games split up the entire division. It's crazy. It has to be one of the better divisions in baseball right now, especially just with the consistency of everybody putting up wins in that. Let's bring JP Merosi back in to talk about the Cubs right now. Kyle Hendricks, JP, is about to be activated off the IL. Cole Hamels is now on the IL. What are the Cubs planning to do with their rotation? Amber, it's a great question because there are not a lot of great answers right now in terms of replacing the Hamels spot that's now open for them. Alizale, as we saw tonight, has struggled. Heather Chatwood has struggled in their rotation as well for the Chicago Cubs. Udarmish has not quite lived up to the potential they had for him in mind when they signed him that long-term contract. So the Cubs right now, Amber, you think about where their payroll is. Ownership has made some comments. Probably not going to add a bunch of payroll at the deadline. I would not look for them to be in the market for the likes of Bumgarner or Strowman. One name to watch, though, familiar to the division, Homer Bailey pitching very well for the Royals. Again, someone that's certainly had some health struggles in the past as well. But he is someone who certainly could be a nice replacement for them. Again, not the biggest name out there. But if they're going to make a trade deadline acquisition, I look for it to be maybe a bit of a smaller name right now, Homer Bailey might be in around the price range that the Cubs can afford. Yeah, but it's not just the pitching right now. I'm sitting here looking at the National League ranks for the Cubs since June 10. I mean, the hitting, they're at the bottom of the National League, especially when it comes to their average with runners in scoring position. They're 14th in the American League since June 10. I mean, excuse me, in the National League, so they're going to have to get that going. Thanks a lot, JP. Appreciate it.


The single most striking thing I've learned so far in my career as a scientist is that the ultimate nature of reality, whatever it is, is just much weirder than we thought. Much more different from what we thought it was than people in their wildest dreams would have imagined in the past. We used to think, well, there's this stuff, it moves in certain ways, certain properties, and this is solid, this is a bit squishy, this is red. And gradually, I think we've come to the conclusion that all of this is governed by these mathematical rules, which are very much like what you would experience if we were actually inside of a video game. If you were Pac-Man or something and started to study your Pac-Man world, you would discover not only his stuff moving around, it had certain properties, but the things that you first thought had some sort of philosophical, physical nature are all behaving according to simple mathematical rules. You'd be basically rediscovering the source code that the programmer had put in there. And that first sounds kind of nutty when you say it, and in my mathematical universe, the book, I even go as far as saying our universe isn't just described by math, it is mathematical in the sense of being a mathematical structure, by which I mean that our universe doesn't just have some mathematical properties, it has only mathematical properties, much like a computer game. That sounds very nutty, so let's break it down a little bit. If you take an object, this book for example, it seems like it has a lot of very non-mathematical properties, it's sort of bendable and has a paper smell and has different colors. Those don't seem like mathematical properties at all. My mom and many with her think of math basically as a sadistic form of torture that school teachers have invented to make us feel bad about ourselves, or maybe as a bag of tricks for manipulating numbers. But what properties of this book are numbers? Well, there's a three here, but that tells us nothing about the nature of reality. I decided to put it there. But if you look more closely, what you actually have here, seen through my physics eyes, is a big blob of electrons and quarks. And what properties does an electron have? Minus one, one half, one, and so on. And even though we physicists have given these properties nerdy names like the electric charge, the spin, and the lepton number, they're just numbers, right? The only difference between an electron and a quark, as far as we can tell, are what those corresponding numbers are. And in fact, all the particles that make us everything in the world here are described by just different sets of these, these numbers. And space itself, that all of this stuff is in, you know, what properties does space have? Three is the property of space. That's the largest number of fingers I can hold that are all perpendicular to each other. Again, you know, we came up with a nerdy name for this, the dimensionality of space, but it's a number. And Einstein discovered some more properties of space called curvature and topology, which are also things mathematicians study. And if ultimately everything in space, as well as space itself, has only mathematical properties, then it starts to sound a little bit less insane that actually we are just living in this gigantic mathematical object.
