I’ve mostly ignored all the Blame Mankind and their use of fossil fuels and living a modern lifestyle for all the flooding caterwauling, but, this one is a doozy
(WRAL) The National Weather Service has issued more flood warnings in 2025 than any other year on record, dating back to 1986.
LOL. 1986.
The last two weeks have seen intense flooding across the country, including the flood in Kerr County, Texas, that killed more than 120 people, including 27 children attending summer camp. North Carolina, New Mexico, New York and New Jersey have also been impacted over this short span of time.
Chantal, which hit North Carolina as a tropical depression on July 6 and 7, dumped nine to 12 inches of rain and prompted flooding in low-lying areas near rivers and creeks. Six people in central North Carolina died because of these floods. Gov. Josh Stein declared a State of Emergency for 13 counties grappling with the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal.
Flooding happens. Always has. It’s certainly made worse by concrete, asphalt, urban jungles, construction, poor drainage. Oh, and building in floodplains. That camp in Texas was in an old riverbed.
Climate attribution scientists from research organizations ClimaMeter and Climate Central held a press briefing Tuesday to highlight and explain how climate change contributed to making these events more intense.
The short answer: Warmer oceans and a warmer atmosphere hold and release more rain.
And? Warm periods happen. UHI are big contributors to this. That flood in NJ? A goodly chunk of the affected area was a known floodplain, which had tons of roads and such with nowhere for the water to drain.
Both Ginesta and Faranda link the burning of fossil fuels to global warming, connecting recent storms to human-caused climate change. They said 70% of global warming comes from carbon dioxide, which is released from burning fossil fuels.
And, yet, Warmists do not give up their own use. Weird, eh?
“Stop playing politics with lives. Provide funding and the right people in the right places to come up with a plan,” Bates said. “We are vulnerable at this point to these disasters and we don’t know when these disasters will come to one of our doors.”
Only Warmists are allowed to play politics, you know. And they want your money. Not their own money. Your money.
“Addressing climate change is a matter of safety, health, and now economic and financial opportunities and we need to learn how to stay safe all together without political boundaries, and boundaries between countries,” Faranda remarked. “We are all in this war together.”
Mr teach ignores that heavy downpours are increasing. But he is correct that the problem is
Not to mention construction on barrier islands and on shorelines.
As things continue to worsen, Americans will have to adapt to the changing climate.
Condolences to the friends and families suffering losses in Texas. Mr teach typed: That camp in Texas was in an old riverbed.
Will anyone be held responsible for the children killed there?
Like the Rimjob really cares.
Provide funding! Money solves everything, didja know?
