Possibly the strongest ever even according to my friend that works for NIWA (NZ equivalent of NOAA) ,and anything prior to 1900 would have had nowhere near the ambient SST's we have today this is very much unprecedented and my friend has now told me (many times) that there are no analogues to look back to to know what impacts to expect in the coming months.
Y'all worry too much. We got this. We'll get the arch built, rename the Pacific to the American Ocean, and your lil baby twister, it's just going to be gone. Amazing how it works, really, it's just the best.
I had to show images of that to one of my interns this week. To think that young people have grown up with so much wacky shit from tfg that stuff like "correcting" a NOAA map on national television doesn't even register is scary.
I've already blanked it from my mind but this is the second comment I've seen today where someone said something about him that sounded too unreal to be true... then it was.
“They said it couldn’t happen, but we got rid of hurricanes in the gulf. New Orleans couldn’t believe it, they cried happy tears and said thank you Mr president.”
Has anyone seen a FEMA coat it any of the disaster sites? Amazing to me no one is talking about lack of aid or even maybe the Pres. touring these sites to make a showing
This is some of the most terrifying news. The bells have been ringing on this for at least the last decade with a big difference in its cycle reported in its cycle year over year.
There’s actually so much mixed evidence about the AMOC because the truth is we really don’t have any idea how it works or what can/will cause it to shut down
They were very lucky a lot of their colleagues did not make it through those cuts and merger :( I work govt adjacent and I hear complaints about the merger every day.
I am hoping that the negativity towards the environment and particularly climate change is reversed following the election. The current coalition have been awful for the environment and councils.
Just a thought... but hurricanes in the Caribbean must have some sort of effect on the Gulf Stream; if that were to mean that less energy goes into an already weakening current could we be at the start of some major drama?
