[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kerry Emanuel ? There are other factors at work besides warming. A global weather pattern called El Niño was absent this year  and that often means a stormier Atlantic Ocean. One reason is that high-altitude "shear winds" in the Atlantic that often nip the tops off budding hurricanes were absent  as well. 
Atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel at MIT  notes that there's also a rather mysterious cycle for Atlantic hurricanes. It seems to repeat about every decade. "We don't really understand it  [but] it's there "  he  says  and it also influences when and how often hurricanes arise. Sure enough  it was 12 years ago  in 2005  when the Atlantic saw such a similarly huge hurricane year.
 Emanuel  says scientists aren't clear whether hurricanes are becoming more common; reliable records for hurricanes go back only about 50 years in the Atlantic  so it's difficult to detect a long-term trend  and data for the Pacific are even scarcer. Theoretically   he  says  some aspects of warming could actually decrease the frequency of hurricanes by drying out parts of the atmosphere. But those that do arise are likely to be nastier. "Insofar as the storms are intense and produce a lot of rain "  he  says  "they're a window into our long-term future."
And it's a costly future   Emanuel  says. "We're just going to get more and more destruction "  he  predicts  "because we just encourage people to live and build in dangerous places" like low-lying coastlines — a fact independent of climate change.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Andrew McCabe ? Trump Uses Twitter To Criticize FBI   Deputy Director Andrew McCabe
President Trump  is once again lashing out at the FBI  mounting a Twitter attack against Deputy Director Andrew McCabe  who's planning to retire soon.
 President Trump  is celebrating Christmas in Florida  but Washington is still clearly very much on  his  mind.  He  took a few moments out of  his  break to take aim at a frequent target of  his  lately  the FBI. NPR's justice reporter Ryan Lucas has been following this and joins us now. Hey  Ryan.
FRAYER: Trump's been going after  one man in particular  Deputy Director Andrew McCabe . What can you tell us about  McCabe ?
LUCAS: Well   McCabe  is a career FBI official.  He 's been at the bureau for more than 20 years.  He  rose up through the ranks  worked a number of mob cases in New York City early on in  his  career before  he  shifted more to counterterrorism work.  He 's held senior positions at the Washington field office  at FBI headquarters in Washington.  He  was named deputy director by James Comey in January of 2016. This is the No. 2 position at the bureau. So  McCabe  was overseeing domestic and international investigations  which gave  him  a central role  of course  into the biggest and most high-profile cases of late. That would be the Clinton email server investigation and the Russia probe.  He  also  you may remember famously  stepped in as acting director after Comey was fired in May. And  McCabe  is expected to retire early next year when  he 's eligible for  his  full pension  and that's been the plan for some time.
FRAYER: So why is Trump then taking aim at  McCabe  on Twitter like he is?
LUCAS: That's right. Yes. Now  the FBI says  McCabe  cleared everything with ethics folks at the bureaus. Everything was above board. And also  McCabe  didn't become deputy director until after that election. But still  Republicans have suggested that it may have tainted  McCabe 's decision-making in the Clinton probe. And all of this  of course  is part of a broader pattern from the president and his allies of  you know  disparaging remarks directed at the FBI and the Justice Department  alleging political bias in the upper ranks of the bureau in particular and by extension  of course  with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team conducting the Russia investigation.
LUCAS: That's very much so.  McCabe  was dragged up to Capitol Hill twice last week.  He  spent around eight hours testifying behind closed doors for the House Intelligence Committee. That was about Russia. And  he  spent a little more than eight hours with the House Oversight and House Judiciary Committees a few days later talking about the Clinton matter.
LUCAS: Well  it's not a position that the bureau wants to be in. It was in the middle of the political fight in 2016  and that's continued into 2017. And there's a lot of pressure from Republicans to clean house in the senior ranks at the FBI. That's made life difficult for Christopher Wray. But one source has told me that there's not a lot of appetite at the bureau to bend to that pressure and dump  McCabe  before  he 's set to retire.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Waymo ? SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc âs Waymo  sought at least $1 billion in damages and a public apology from Uber Technologies Inc as conditions for settling  its  high-profile trade secret lawsuit against the ride-services company  sources familiar with the proposal told Reuters.
The Waymo self-driving car unit also asked that an independent monitor be appointed to ensure Uber does not use  Waymo  technology in the future  the sources said.
Uber rejected those terms as non-starters  said the sources  who were not authorized to publicly discuss settlement talks. The precise dollar amount requested by  Waymo  and the exact time the offer was made could not be learned.
 Waymoâs  tough negotiating stance  which has not been previously reported  reflects the company âs  confidence in  its  legal position after months of pretrial victories in a case which may help to determine who emerges in the forefront of the fast-growing field of self-driving cars.
The aggressive settlement demands also suggest that  Waymo  is not in a hurry to resolve the lawsuit  in part because of  its  value as a distraction for Uber leadership  said Elizabeth Rowe  a trade secret expert at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
 Waymo  recently persuaded a San Francisco federal judge to delay a trial to decide the dispute from October to early December  citing the need to investigate evidence Uber had not disclosed earlier.
Amy Candido  a  Waymo  attorney  declined to comment on any settlement talks  but said the companyâs reasons for suing Uber are âpretty clear.â
â Waymo  had one goal: to stop Uber from using  its  trade secrets â  she  said. âThat remains  its  goal.â
 Waymo  sued Uber in February  claiming that former engineer Anthony Levandowski downloaded more than 14 000 confidential files before leaving to set up a self-driving truck company  called Otto  which Uber acquired soon after.
Uber denied using any of Waymoâs trade secrets.

 Waymoâs  lawsuit has been disruptive for Uber. U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted  Waymoâs  request for a pretrial injunction in May  which prohibited Levandowski from working on Lidar  a key sensor technology for self-driving cars that is the crux of the current litigation.
Uber later fired Levandowski  regarded as a visionary in autonomous technology  after he refused to return Waymo documents at the heart of the case. Levandowski has asserted his constitutional right against self-incrimination and declined to answer questions from  Waymo  lawyers.
Benchmark cited  Waymo âs allegations of trade secret theft in separate litigation aimed at forcing Kalanick off Uberâs board. A Delaware judge put that lawsuit on hold and sent it to private arbitration.
On Sunday Oct. 1  the day before Kalanick was scheduled to give a deposition in the Waymo case  Kalanickâs lawyers called  Waymo  and asked to postpone the deposition  lawyers for both companies said in court last week.
Kalanickâs lawyers said he was in the middle of a fight to appoint new board members and was therefore too busy   Waymo  attorneys said in court.  Waymo  refused the request  forcing Kalanick to attend the deposition.
