This couldn’t possibly have anything to do with nature, and what happens during a Holocene warm period, could it? Are the researchers comparing now to previous warm periods? Because that would be rather necessary to do Proper Science

Climate change is moving hurricane risks further inland

The Atlantic hurricane season starts on June 1, but you don’t have to be on the coast to be in the path of dangerous winds and flooding.

Researchers say climate change and rapid development are moving danger zones farther inland, putting more people in harm’s way.

This is troubling news for the many North Carolinians still reeling from the impact from Hurricane Florence in 2018. That storm dropped over three feet of rain – the state’s wettest hurricane.

The behavior of tropical systems is changing due to climate change. Now they are producing more rain, moving slower, and lasting longer over land.

And? Nature happens

As temperatures rise, warmer air molecules carry around more water vapor, causing more potential rainfall and increasing the chance of inland flooding.

The North and South poles are also getting warmer, and the pressure differences between the poles and tropical systems is now smaller, slowing down the steering currents that push these tropical systems along.

A recent study shows that tropical systems have slowed down by 10% in the past 75 years.

Another study shows that tropical systems are lasting longer over land. Fifty years ago, a typical tropical system would have lost more than three-quarters of its intensity in the first 24 hours of landfall. Now, it would only lose half.

How does this compare to the Medieval and Roman warm periods? Can we also look at the behavior during the Little Ice Age and Dark Ages? No? We’re just supposed to take it on faith, and do as the climate cult tells us? Interestingly, the article provides zero links to this new study. Just take it on faith and give your money, liberty, and life choices to government.
