Intrigued by the World Tension Index (you can enable it in the settings under the Experimental tab) which currently reads Mild/24°:

> The world is simmering gently, marked by active regional conflicts, deadly protests, and a severe flood, yet tempered by budding Gaza ceasefire talks and cooperative diplomatic meetings.

> While trade disputes and political probes contribute to tension, no large-scale escalations or catastrophic events push the situation beyond the usual range of global unrest.

I wonder how this is calculated and what would push the meter from normal over elevated to serious/extreme.
