Not 34 inches at once. It’s a record which is the point. You have to admit we’re having odd weather. Earthquakes, fires, hurricanes tornadoes all bigger in strength then in the past. Record hot weather not seen ever. Maybe not climate change but something is up.
Please single out a recent earthquake larger than those we have experienced in the past?
Earthquakes aren't weather.
SoCal has always had fires, now more destructive because of poor environmental planning.
Just read the other day that sea levels have not risen in 117 yrs.
Change is due to the sun and our orbit.
St Patrick’s Day 1993 we got 36” in one night in Pittsburgh. Almost 5’ in the mountains.
I don’t think we are having bigger weather events, I do think we hear more about them. Only occasionally is an event truly a record breaker, and that is normal too to have an occasional record breaking event.
Everywhere I have lived there are weather cycles that are local to that area and you can actually learn them if you talk to old timers and pay attention to weather. Areas have cycles of dry and wet that fall on a fairly predictable pattern. Living in the Southwest if you understand El Nino and La Nina it is very helpful. Of course understanding is relative, no one can predict weather with real accuracy. You can have an idea that a year will tend to be wet or dry, but not whether a wet year will get the moisture all at once or spread out.
Liberals want to control everything so they hype the weather to fit an agenda. The late 1960s had a lot of famous blizzards and snowfalls so they jumped on the idea that an ice age was right around the corner. Recently they got hung up on global warming and tried to make every event an example.
When they realized those puzzle pieces were not fitting now it is climate change, which the climate has always changed. A real tell is that if there is an event that fits their claims they hype the heck out of it as evidence. If an event goes against their agenda then they lecture on the difference between weather and climate.
Yes we do have odd weather, the earth has always had odd weather.
