Climate change is making severe storms both more common and more intense.
First the river rose in Texas. Then, the rains fell hard over North Carolina, New Mexico and Illinois.
In less than a week, there were at least four 1-in-1,000-year rainfall events across the United States — intense deluges that are thought to have roughly a 0.1% chance of happening in any given year.
“Any one of these intense rainfall events has a low chance of occurring in a given year,” said Kristina Dahl, vice president for science at the nonprofit organization Climate Central, “so to see events that are historic and record-breaking in multiple parts of the country over the course of one week is even more alarming.”
It’s the kind of statistic, several experts said, that is both eye-opening and likely to become more common because of climate change.
Trump: See how it is? Even the best storms are in the USA now! Make Rains Great Again. Glory to the beautiful me!
Bullshit. Trump will blame this on Democrats.
Kamala Harris as seen by MAGAts:
Marjorie Trailerpark Greene is literally advancing a bill to ban chemtrails.
A thing that does not exist nor happen at any kind of scale whatsoever, beyond very, very limited and occasional scientific tests… decades ago, and were funded via programs and grants the Big Bullshit Bill and other Trump EOs have decimated.
They do, literally, unironically, blame made up, magic, conspiracy nonsense instead of even attempting to agree with the vast, vast, vaaaaast majority of climate scientists, and even corpo scientists that work for fossil fuel companies that broadly predicted all this would happen roughly 30 years before public science caught up with it (thanks to the lobbying and propoganda campaigns of the same fossil fuel corps.)
They will do literally anything other than admit that they are wrong, their understanding of the world is objectively delusional.
They’re too good at magic sky daddy logic.
He already was blaming the Texas floods on Biden. The all powerful Biden, causing all kinds of trouble 7 months after he left office. Trump wishes he had power like that.
Unfortunately he does. The aftermath of this regime will take a minimum of 50 years to fix, if it can be.
Anyone remember this classic line from Trump 1.0 about hurricane Florence?
Lets hope he doesn’t nuke the next one.
