Category 5 Hurricane Milton

Lol for real. Perfect description.

Oh right, yeah I just think the hurricanes are random and just bad luck.

Though of course the usual tin foil hat brigade in the more stupid corners of the internet are convinced they are controlled by the government. Absolute idiots.

I’m not sure what you’re saying here. But no, I do not believe these hurricanes are produced intentionally. That’s kind of nuts.

The people gluing themselves to roads on one side.

People believing in weather machines on the other.

■■■■ tards both.

When you let ideology substitute for observation and logic, the end result is becoming a ■■■■ tard.

Go on the Facebook well and you’ll see some wild ■■■■ being thrown around.

It isn’t any warmer now than it was 30 years ago.

perhaps you are wrong on this point.

I think the hurricanes are just bad luck back to back and not the result of climate chamge though I do thonk the overall changes in weather patterns do have a contributing factor from climate change.

My other point which i made badly is on one side you have those who thinl every natural disaster is climate change and then on the other side those that believe the government creates hurricanes and natural disasters.

Toll_Collector · 2024-10-12T21:22:00.031Z

I pretty much agree with you.

Sea temps have only been recorded since I think the mid 1800s so its possible that any increase in sea temps is natural but on the flip side it could also be man made. Regardless of the reasons why the temperature of the oceans have risen the impacts are real

A Warming Ocean

Yes. I do not deny that. What I am saying is, it doesn’t take high ocean temps to develop category 5 hurricanes. That isn’t the reason. We’re not seeing anything abnormal. We’re just trying to use a different excuse.

There will be slight cooling too as we crest the peak of solar activity for this cycle. Another Krakatoa-like eruption could rob us of a couple more summers, never know. It did cause spectacular sunsets for years afterwards, so at least we got some historical art out of it. lol

Other than that, we’re at 12,000+ years of continual (net) warming and counting. Here’s hoping for an ice-free arctic that I could swim in someday.

You can swim in it now.

Nah, I’m waiting for those ■■■■■■■ to drown first. Should be less than 12 years now.

In other words, normal in the Gulf for this time of year.

I don’t know what is so alarming about 90 degree sea surface temperatures in the gulf. This is why hurricane season runs through November. It takes time for peak sea surface temps to dip below 80 degrees. Was November added to hurricane season? If so, not recently. But that would be a clear indication waters are warmer. But as far as I know, nothing has changed.

Yeah I love how a not insignificant amount of people are convinced the US government is literally led by Cobra Commander and his weather dominator.

I find it funny too, but for a different reason.

Nope, nothing has changed.

the quaternary ending is a much better scenario than the Holocene ending and the quaternary continuing.

Ben_Natuf · 2024-10-14T12:32:39.606Z

why stop at the year without a summer jr, when we can go back to 1816 and experience the perfect climate from which all climate warming is measured?

Aid to several communities impacted by Hurricane Helene was temporarily paused in parts of North Carolina over the weekend due to reports of threats against Federal Emergency Management Agency responders

from the sheriiff of ash county NC
We wanted to address the current issues being spread about FEMA in Ashe County.
As a response, they have been here to help and assist those in need. Recently in the mountain region, there have been threats made against them. This has not happened in Ashe County or the surrounding counties. Out of an abundance of caution, they have paused their process as they are assessing the threats.
We will notify everyone if and when we are updated.
Stay calm and steady during our recovery, help folks and please don’t stir the pot.
Sincerely, Sheriff Howell

Yep. If you want to talk about potential global disasters, another ice age is about as bad as it gets.

But I think what you mean is the Pleistocene era. The Quaternary Period includes the Holocene.

Global Warming = More food, more land, more resources, more people.

Global Cooling = Famine, death, less land, less resources.

But some pansy daffodils are afraid to get slightly moist on the way from their air conditioned home to their air conditioned vehicle to their air conditioned office.
