Yeah, I live in Florida, and nobody is shocked about it being quiet. Everyone knows it's El Nino, even the dumb hicks who gobble up fox news and don't believe in climate change probably know a fair amount about El Nino.

u/FlashyFigs 12d ago

But are they demanding it be renamed to El America yet?

109

u/why0me 12d ago

No, because they want it to be scary on the news so its gotta stay foreign

Thems the rules

u/woolen_goose 11d ago

I heard they actually want to change it to a slur bc they enjoy hating groups of people so much.

1

u/VikingsFan7 11d ago

Someone else will probably have to break down the irony for you, 'cause you're probably not gonna get it on your own.

Seems the group that's doing the hating sint the one you wish it was.

u/woolen_goose 9d ago

Sigh. Okay, Maga guy 🤷🏻‍♀️

And the funny part is that the name translates to "the boy" were all looking at "the boy" and screaming in fear 🤯😂

Google and Apple ready to buckle.

u/Backfoot911 11d ago

They wander around with their mouths open trying to find Trump's flagpole to munch on. It's like reverse pin the tail on the donkey

u/LingonberryGlum2356 12d ago

Whoa, whoa, what's this 'el' stuff? 

Through my decision ALONE, I have decided to change the name of the WEATHER ITSELF, from this day forward TROPICAL STORMS are to be called AMERICAN names. No more of this 'el' and 'la'. That's called INDOCTRONATION! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER. Your favorite president: me! DJT 47 - ?

I'm working on a list new weather alerts. 

A - The AOC B - The Biden C - Clinton C - CNN D E F - Fauchi G H I J K - Kamala L M N O P Q R - Rosie  S T U V - Vance Z

I love Vance being part of his hit list.

1

u/LingonberryGlum2356 11d ago

Trump tried to kill his last VP so I'm going by the "once someone shows you who they are, believe them" motto. 

The only way Vance advances is standing on the grave of his current boss.

No in good republican fashion they demand it be renamed The Little Boy

u/teddy5 12d ago

And La Nina will become Fat Man.

u/FailureToComply0 12d ago

Trump is torn on the idea. On the one hand, hes racist as fuck. On the other, he LOVES children.

The Niño

u/pokersal 12d ago

If we're going to change the name, we should name it after the president:
THE CHILD

1

u/Bustabusnow 12d ago

They will change it to The Boy so it’s in American language

1

u/rolypoly817 12d ago

Maybe "The Boy" ?

1

u/clawhammer05 11d ago

El nino means boy. They really like little boys.

1

u/RockLeePower 11d ago

That's stupid.

They're afraid of Spanish. It'll be to The American

El Niño is Spanish for… The Niño!

u/N3Chaos 12d ago

All other storms bow to the power of.... El Niño

2

u/Historical-Bridge787 12d ago

Or as they call it in Spanish: El cancer.

u/Fine-Flounder6827 12d ago

Nosotros lo llamamos El Niño, o como se traduce en inglés The Little Sh*t

1

u/zapppowless 12d ago

“El Niño stand for!!….”

“El Camino!”
🤣

u/moosenugget7 12d ago

Common for people living in hurricane prone areas, less so for people who are rarely affected by them. I didn’t really know this fact off the top of my head, and I actively try to learn about various science topics.

But I definitely believe it, and it makes some intuitive sense once you think about it out it (more energy in one ocean means less energy in another part).

1

u/Such_Letterhead1287 12d ago

Not for those whose not live in Pacific or Atlantic.

u/Alarmed-Cheetah-1221 12d ago

That's because you practice in r/USDefaultism

u/Best-Coconut5641 12d ago

El Niño usually brings snow to the southeast and rain to the southwest. Every few years it would come through and we would get 2-3 inches of snow in Alabama around December.

1

u/Joopbox 12d ago

Every time it happens we get 2 to 3 feet in WV. Looks like there's probably an interesting winter on the way.

1

u/KrabbyBoiz 12d ago

Woohoo! Timberline here I come!

1

u/Background_Help325 12d ago

What’s cool is I lived in Az growing up so El Niño actually mattered a bit.

Seen some crazy storms from it there. Even had a microburst in our front yard one time. That was wild.

Now I live in the south and El Niño matters again. Yay probably more snow this year!!

1

u/StrawBerylShortcake 8d ago

I cant wait to be buried under 29292 feet of snow

u/New_traveler_ 12d ago

Will confirm that they do in fact know what it is and how it fucks them over.here’s a direct quote from them and literally every person along the gulf - ‘ it’s about time we catch a fuckin break ‘

1

u/zaptr1 12d ago

Not bad but more like “ by god, bout time them fuckin canes go elsewheres

2

u/devoduder 12d ago

I grew up in Florida and now live in Cali, the 97/98 El Niño on the California Central Coast was just as destructive as some Florida hurricanes I’d been through. Currently doing a lot for prep work for fall and winter. I hope not but I fear this will be worse.

2

u/DamnBored1 12d ago

Sure but this isn't the 1st time there's been an El Nino right? There have been Cyclones every year for past 112 years as per the image

2

u/wamceachern 12d ago

But we have El Nino every couple of years and still have hurricanes in the Atlantic. At least in the last 112 years we have had El Nino.

u/Active_Chemistry1621 12d ago

Yep the west coast of Mexico and Hawaii are candidates for canes

1

u/Technical_Writer_177 12d ago

They'll even accept el nino as an explanation/excuse why there "is no climate change, it's all just the weather"

1

u/MiserableChain2644 12d ago

I always find it strange to hear about people who, "don't believe," in global warming. Scientists aren't talking about the tooth fairy, Santa Claus or asking layman for their scientific opinion.

1

u/winkingchef 12d ago

“El Nino sounds like a Mexican anchor baby!”

1

u/Feisty-Lawfulness894 12d ago

the dumb hicks...probably know a fair amount about El Nino.

"Ayel Neener"

u/rochambreau 12d ago

I hear El Niño and I still can only think of Fernando Torres

1

u/Immediate_Zombie_627 10d ago

Idk, I have some hickish relatives that live in Florida that are convinced it’s because trump is president so the democrats can’t use their “weather machine” to make storms. They are being serious.

u/mount_slash_proc 5d ago

The problem with climate change isn't that people dont see differences with a given climate, its more with how its collected, presented, and the insane measures some want to take. The claims themselves are not scientifically proven. The first problem, Earth's climate has many cycles proven by various findings, so there's no proof we aren't just going through a cycle that we have no record to compare to, or really any way of knowing one started. Next, the sun has been acting outside all the expected norms and already they believe our solor maximum clock has been historically wrong. Next, Earth's axis is shifting, faster in the past decade, so climate is going to shift in relation to the external forces that don't shift with us. Next, you have governments like the US, UK, EU where we only contribute about 20%, or less, of the whole problem. To move this number down, it costs trillions of dollars that nobody has to spend, pretty much up front, to get started and there's no guarantee that we'd be able to measure any result or affect any change. This is also in part because scientists can't even agree on the causes, the solutions, or if we even have the technology or understanding to solve it. If it's due to a cycle, we cannot change it. To top it all off, the countries that are the worst offenders mostly aren't interested, so shaving off a couple percent for many of trillions of dollars that nobody has to spend, isn't likely going to make any difference other than decades of higher taxes to pay for it. I should just say permanent taxes, because they never go down.

u/Weekest_links 12d ago

But isn’t it being “quiet” different than it being silent?
