A flip in a natural moon cycle combined with rising seas from climate change will cause rapid and "dramatic" increases in flooding along U.S. coastlines by the mid-2030s, according to a NASA study.

The research, published last month in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that changes in the coming decades to the angle of the moon's orbit and its alignment with the Earth and sun will amplify the effects of sea-level rise, leading to a sharp rise in high-tide flooding in coastal communities.

The findings add new urgency to address rising sea levels in many Atlantic and Gulf Coast cities, where high-tide flooding is already an issue. But the study also highlights how flooding could become widespread for almost all coastal communities in the country by the middle of the next decade.

Rubbish!  Pure rubbish!  Everyone who has studied the concept knows full well the result of a wobbling moon is constipation of Giant Squid which really makes them edgy!  And that is scientific consensus so they need to stop spreading lies.

NASA, Media Botch Facts About Climate, Moon Wobble, And Flooding

Climate Change Dispatch by  H. Sterling Burnett on Jul 16, 2021

A report from NASA claiming natural shifts in the moon’s “wobble” will combine with climate change to increase coastal flooding in the 2030s is prominently featured on Google News today in a search for the term “climate change.”

The report, published in Nature, wrongly points to climate change as contributing to expected increases in incidences of flooding.

The media unquestioningly follows NASA down this false path. Data show that any contribution of climate change to sea-level rise in the next one to two decades will be minuscule, on the order of millimeters, and less than two centimeters at worst.

This is within the margin of natural sea-level rise and certainly far below any detectable contribution of climate change to moon-induced flooding beginning in 2030.

The headline from the Washington Post’s story covering NASA’s report, “Moon ‘wobble’ and climate change could mean ‘double whammy’ of flooding in 2030s, NASA warns,” matches the tone of the coverage by other mainstream media outlets.

They're half right. Climate changes naturally, as it has since the beginning of time.
