The Big Nor’Easter Is Partly Your Fault, You Know

Well, I guess without hurricanes the cultists have to try something

Climate change is adding fuel to this weekend’s Nor’easter

A developing nor’easter is expected to strengthen along the U.S. East Coast through the weekend, bringing heavy rainfall, strong winds, dangerous surf, and coastal flooding from the Mid-Atlantic into New England. As of September 24, coastal flooding has already affected portions of Virginia and North Carolina, with ocean overwash closing a miles-long stretch of road on the Outer Banks and breaking waves of 12-17 feet forecast along Hatteras Island, North Carolina. (snip)

Dangerous surf is expected, with coastal flooding possible along much of the Northeast coast Friday through Sunday, including the Jersey Shore, Long Island, Rhode Island, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, and portions of coastal New Hampshire and Maine. Breaking waves of 6-17 feet are possible along the Massachusetts coast, while offshore seas near Jeffreys Ledge in the Gulf of Maine could reach 15 feet. Prolonged onshore winds and repeated high tides, amplified by Saturday’s full moon, will increase the risk of coastal flooding, beach erosion, and damage to coastal infrastructure

How is climate change influencing this storm?

The developing nor’easter is forming over exceptionally warm Atlantic waters off the Mid-Atlantic coast, where sea surface temperatures of 81-83°F are 2-4.5°F above normal.

According to Climate Central’s Climate Shift Index: Ocean, these unusually warm waters have been made 10 to 50 times more likely by human-caused climate change.

Um, that’s a pretty damned wide Blamestorm. 10 to 50 times. Because nor’easters do not usually happen. But, um, if the water is so warm, which, according to the cult, causes more and bigger hurricanes, where are they?

    Hawaii! Mexico!! SoCal!!! New England!!!!

    Recall when cultist Teach whined about the “Great Pause” refuting the climate “cult”, LOL. Good times. Now, it’s the dearth of Atlantic hurricanes!! He’ll forget this by next Atlantic hurricane season!!! Buckle up, Florida!!

    Only about ~60% of the Earth’s surface temperatures can be measured accurately.

    The other 40% they just make up.

    Hey, the northeast primarily uses natural gas and heating oil to heat their homes, where we evil white people who still yearn for the Confederacy have electricity as our primary home heating source, so the New Englanders and New Yorkers have brought this on themselves!

  4. drowningpuppies says:

    The premature shutdown of the Indian Point nuclear power plant, which included Units 2 and 3, was criticized as a strategic blunder that removed a significant source of clean energy, contributing to rising electricity costs and increased reliance on fossil fuels in New York. Critics argue that the decision was influenced by political considerations and opposition from environmental activists, despite the plant’s record of safety and reliability.
