Extreme Weather Seems To Be New Norm.

[TheMastersNemesis]

The extreme weather most likely is the new norm with climate "warming". But the weather reporters are afraid to say anything about it. Anyway it is probably now way too late. Severe extreme weather may be the new norm in spring with huge floods and very extreme tornadoes.

I bet that the tornado scale will eventually have to have a 6,

1. Climate change does not necessarily mean more severe tornadoes.

4. That link is to reports from 2007,

more data has been collected since then.

2. NBC didn't mention "Climate Change" in the Sunday evening news segment

on the tornados, storms, in the midwest even though the there were numerous references to "never seen in recorded history" when
describing the flooding.

3. Lots of never-before-seen stuff, isn't there?

Floods covering the 100-year flood plain a couple of times a decade, 500 year floods showing up a few times over 25 year stretches. Wildfires in Tennessee in November. Tornadoes touching down around the Southeast in December. I know that any one weather-related anomaly isn't proof positive of climate change, but as these "rare" events become more common, the evidence stacks up, leading to a scientifically valid conclusion.

5. But if my memory is working this is three years straight of historic flooding

That is not normal

6. Gaslighting The Electorate To Believe That These Events Have Been The Usual All Along.

The deniers are just saying that all this weather has ALWAYS been happening, because there are more people and better reporting and weather coverage where there was none before. It has always been this way it is just a mirage that the weather is really worse.

7. I have been saying for several years

that old patterns and data that we have relied on are being rendered meaningless.
Currents and wind patterns, among other things, are no longer stable.

This has lead to extreme weather AND the variability in what were regular seasons.

Storms may be bigger but in many cases they will linger and cause flooding because of their slow movement. The flooding has been severe for a while and I first noticed it in reports from Europe.

At some point, new patterns may emerge. It could take years, decades or even thousands of years before they appear.
