Floods, Heat, Smoke: The Weather Will Never Be Normal Again

Global warming is accelerating, with temperatures not just rising but rising faster than ever. Every day, it seems, we get better at normalizing extreme weather. But it is simultaneously proving harder to compartmentalize — even in places such as New York City that once looked to residents like concrete fortresses against nature.*snip*
Last weekend, it was Hudson Valley streets turned into swimming pools by supercharged rain and ravines disgorging landslides that those in New York City watched with a mix of horror and false relief. The flooding was “upstate,” we told ourselves, though by “upstate,” of course, we meant not even 50 miles north of the city.
I don't know who this DUmmie really is but she fancies herself a climate expert of some sort at the DUmp, however, she fails to explain this little contradiction from her cited article...
People were kayaking through Montpelier, and the Winooski River rose to levels not seen since catastrophic flooding in 1927. The governor had to hike his way to an open road.
Care to explain what caused the catastrophic flooding in 1927, MORON!
That would be 21 years BEFORE AlGore was even born, let alone having invented the Global Warming/Climate Change scam.

I would like to point out that the weather has never been "normal". Perhaps the OP can define what normal is?
-
It warms my heart to know that DUmmies like this spend their days climate dooming themselves into constant misery.
This "we only have ten years left" scam has been going on for well over three decades now and they still haven't figured out that they're being conned .

The century-old Wizard of Oz doesn't have a tornado?
The Grapes of Wrath doesn't start with a drought in the Plains states?
Jules Verne's Mysterious Island doesn't start with a hurricane? And his In Search of the Castaways with a typhoon?
Swiss Family Robinson? "The Tempest"? Even classic literature demonstrates that "extreme" weather has been normal for centuries.
Are DUmmies bleeping illiterate, too?!

The ones that aren't actually illiterate (and proud of it) have such low reading comprehension levels that it's functionally the same.

And don't forget that after Katrina in 2005 we were told that an overwhelming onslaught of severe hurricanes would follow due to climate change.
Guess what? Didn't happen.

Let's go even further back. Look up 'Euroclydon'.

Ah, the name for the storm type that shipwrecked Paul of Tarsus, got Jonah thrown overboard, and drove Odysseus and his crew far from their home in Ithaca.

Smoke from fires. It isn't weather.
Good gravy these people are stupid.

Don't dare ask a leftist what the worst hurricane in U.S. history was and when it happened. That was in 1900 before the industrial revolution really accelerated with the popularity and prevalence of the combustion engine.

And it used to be the gloom and doom over a coming ice age in the early-mid 70's.
Humans tend to have a recency bias without ever considering that a lot of stuff happened before they were alive. And since they aren't rational and govern themselves by emotion rather than logic and facts, nothing that comes out of their pie-holes makes a lick of sense.
As a quick related aside: I spent a summer in Texas, and the temperature hit 100 for an entire month. That was in the early 90's. Hot weather happens in summer, regardless of what humans do. F-ing dolts. :censored: :banghead: :banghead:

Those were due to gas stoves.

Those were due to gas stoves.
...And wood and coal fired pizza ovens, of course.
I'm sure if they could create a visual connection - however bullshit it is - they'd be blaming it on the carbon footprint from all these "mass" shootings they've been hyping lately.

I blame rap music

There is a regular and predictable cycle with the DUmmies (and indeed the whole of the watermelon environmentalists) - in the summer there are a few hot days, and they scream solidly about how its proof of global warming; a few months later, if there is bad snow in winter the unison choir takes up the chant that 'weather isn't the same thing as climate'. Confirmation bias, thy name is the DUmp.

As you all know, I lived in Augusta Ga. for 20 years. They built a levee to protect downtown and Riverwalk in 1916. Since then there have been 3 floods if I'm not mistaken. Some aren't shown in this image.

BTW, the DUmbass is actually correct, though not how they want to be. No the weather will never be normal. See, there's this bigass nuclear reactor about 93 million miles away that has a "tiny" thing to do with our global patterns.

Interstate 80 between Sacramento and Woodland passes over a bypass to prevent flooding on the Sacramento River. When the river gets high enough, water is let into a bypass area, and as the rater level of the river drops, water flows out of the bypass back into the river. This bypass and another one farther upstream started being built in 1911, due to earlier floods. So the heavy rain and flooding in NorCal in 2017 and 2023 are nothing new. All the Warmistas' "abnormal" weather hokum is ignorance of the not so distant past and gaming people who don't know past weather patterns.

Surely not as much as my A/C unit and gas stove though right?

Dear DUmmie, please show us what is "normal" weather.

I blame it all on Greta :-)

Dear DUmmie, please show us what is "normal" weather.
No floods, no hurricanes, no ice storms, no droughts. Just like it was before the internal combustion engine existed.

Warmistas pretend that weather not within a tenth of a degree of average and/or a millimeter of precipitation is Global Climate Change.
