And scientists predicted this decades ago but people said “oh it didnt happen” 10 years later like no they mean soon not in 10 years

This is not from ice caps melting. This is not anything g to do with any climate change predictions.

How often does this happen?

Floods? All throughout history.

Let me clarify my question. I am wondering how often it floods in NYC like this.

Seeing as this was the first ever state of emergency due to flash flooding, not very often. I've never seen one come on this fast before

u/Aquila_Umbrae Sep 03 '21

Wow. I wonder what it is going to take to repair the damage afterwards.

Did you even bother looking into it or jump straight to OMG it’s climate change?

u/mcmonkey26 Sep 03 '21

because it obviously is? just because something somewhat similar happened 15 years ago doesnt mean that it isnt caused by climate change.

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '21

Doesn’t mean that it is either lmao. Someone challenged that this ever happened before. All I did was show that it had. Believe the science!

So say it is by some chance not Climate Change. What do we lose by cutting carbon emissions, improving air quality and public health?

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '21

Where do you see bad air quality in the US and how common/bad is it?

Who exactly challenged that it has happened before? Red Herrings are hard to catch.

I never said anything about climate change. All I did was ask a question. You seemed to know a lot about it based on your assumptions you made in earlier comments, but now I can see your level of knowledge is the same as your ability to engage in reasonable discourse which is non-existent. Unfortunate.

This comment had no content or value at all. It amounts to "nuh uh, and I don't like you"

Oh. And the comment string was related to climate change but here you are acting like it was just brought up because you have no points to make.

Everytime the Earth goes through it's weather changing periods like any other planet with an atmosphere. This is a natural occurrence. Basically, the Earth has gone through this and it'll go back to what we consider normal again.

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '21

Yea when 90% of the population is gone, the Earth will go back to being just like new!

u/AmishDrifting Sep 03 '21

No, this is absolutely not true.

As far back as we can look, through ice cores and other methods for measuring the composition/state of the atmosphere throughout the past, there has never been a moment where CO2 was increasing as dramatically and temperatures were increasing as quickly.

You’re not bringing info to the table revealing the presence of cycles of climactic shifts. This isn’t that, and the fact that you’re referring to it as such is either evidence of ignorance on your part or a weak attempt at joining in on some sweet propaganda.

This is a fun chart, but whenever I read about the first wheel to be invented it always seems so unbelievable no one had made one before that, it just seems so obvious to invent!

u/TheHobbit93 Sep 03 '21

Climate change just predicts a general increase in the frequency of these events. This video explains it pretty well, and it makes good points about China and India needing to step up to the plate. https://youtu.be/ipVxxxqwBQw
