NASA predicts a "wobble" in the moon's orbit may lead to record flooding on Earth

Every coast in the U.S. is facing rapidly increasing high tide floods thanks to a "wobble" in the moon's orbit working in tandem with climate change-fueled rising sea levels.

A new study from NASA and the University of Hawaii, published recently in the journal Nature Climate Change, warns that upcoming changes in the moon's orbit could lead to record flooding on Earth in the next decade.

Through mapping the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) sea-level rise scenarios, flooding thresholds and astronomical cycles, researchers found flooding in American coastal cities could be several multiples worse in the 2030s, when the next moon "wobble" is expected to begin. They expect the flooding to significantly damage infrastructure and displace communities.

Give me a break! I love the words “May” “If” “Shoulda” “Woulda” “Coulda” “Maybe” when used in articles trying or trying to explaining weather.

Try this Dumbasses “Weather Happens”!

This is all the more reason to generate electricity from the tides.

Math Models, by definition, have to simplify.

They can be WRONG.

Maybe we can get our tic tac ship visitors to go fix the worn out bushings holding up the moon.

“Move to 5000 ft. That oughta do it.”

4100 ft. seems extremely comfortable.

That the “creek” 600 ft below disappears into a sink hole tends to mean that flooding of The Compound is NOT an issue.

This has got to be what all the shamans, chiefs, priests and wizards have done through the ages. Warn the sheeple that the moon god or the sun god is po’d and that the sheeple must do this, that or the other to appease the gods.

“The combination of the Moon’s gravitational pull, rising sea levels, and climate change will continue to exacerbate coastal flooding on our coastlines and across the world.”

Yep, I’m at 5600’ and definitely should be mostly safe. Of course being in the middle of a high desert over a thousand miles from any oceans helps too. What is going to cause this new moon wobble they predict is what I want to know.

Does this mean the government will not only force us to wear masks, but life jackets as well?

Obviously glowbull warming is causing the moon to wobble.

“In other news—wealthy folks like Obozo are panic selling all their oceanside property for pennies on the dollar....”

That’s the laugher. Mr. Market is pretty good at discounting inevitable natural disasters.

Maybe the rich coastal elites know something millennial climate panickers do not.

I thought the supposedly Anarchist “ Wobblies” were gone except for a few phone-booth chapters out in the middle of the Midwest and Ohio (They’re commies now but don’t tell them).

Now, if you look at how Joe Biden walks and talks, you could say that the “New Wobblies” are here. In fact, I think I read somewhere that Kamala Harris once said to Little Willie Brown, “Don’t wobble while I gobble”. Were they secret “wobblies”?

I knew that weevils wobble, but I didn’t know the moon does too. 😀
