‘Wobbling’ moon will cause devastating worldwide flooding in 2030s, NASA warns

The world faces an onslaught of coastal flooding starting in the mid-2030s due to a "wobble" in the moon's orbit, Nasa has warned.

Numbers of floods could quadruple as the gravitational effects of the lunar cycle combine with climate change to produce "a decade of dramatic increases" in water disasters.

The space agency said coastal cities would experience "rapidly increasing high-tide floods" and they would occur in "clusters" lasting a month or longer.

It said the main cause was a "regular wobble" in the moon’s orbit, which was first recorded in 1728.

Nasa said: "What’s new is how one of the wobble’s effects on the moon’s gravitational pull – the main cause of Earth’s tides – will combine with rising sea levels resulting from the planet’s warming."

The wobble in the moon's orbit takes 18.6 years to complete.

For half of that time, regular daily tides on Earth are suppressed, meaning high tides are lower than normal, and low tides are higher than normal.

During the other half of the cycle tides are amplified, meaning high tides get even higher, and low tides get even lower. As global sea levels rise, the amplification effect will be increased.

The next time this "lunar assist" to high tides comes around will be in the mid-2030s. By that time global sea levels will have been rising for another decade.

It will have passed a "tipping point" and the result will be a "leap in flood numbers on almost all US mainland coastlines," Nasa said.

Can't wait until someone proclaims it to be a result of Capitalism and White supremacy.

Just in time for many of us to retire or move to Florida and the Coast. Awesome.

'Dromers here be like "the floods from the wobbling moon are because white men landed there to declare their supremacy and the weight of the guilt on the American flag planted on the moon caused it to do this and now we all need to learn how to swim because of white people who flew to the moon and planted their guilt-heavy flag...."

There are people out there that could fill a book out of this premise and become rich selling millions of copies.

You write it, I'll "fact check" it. You can have author credit, I'll have creation credit and we will make a fortune.

All proceeds can go to the "anti-wobble coalition", which of course we will also establish.

So I see this until now, I would say something if it's NASA maybe we should care about. Then most comments I saw just making fun of me saying I am a white hater, and the one blame every thing for white people. Which I am not, so sad things turn out to be this way. Most guys I know are good fellas but when it comes to those topics people just make no differences.

Still think most of you are good fellas. Anyway so long guys, since I am such a joke in your eyes now.

*frank_one* · 07-18-2021, 08:40 PM

I'm sorry you feel that way, nylemon. I'm sure no one here has really anything against you. I think you shouldn't take it too personally or seriously. We are just a bunch of guys who like to talk obsessively about turtles and other stuff we really don't know anything about while we are at it.

I'm on board, Jim

Appreciated, I know how Internet works and I am fine, thanks for your concern.

Yeah, yeah, yeah keep on it.

"I bet I'm more oppressed than you!"

"No way, I'm WAY more oppressed than you!"

"I bet I have you both beat!"

"Am I too late to chime in? I've been oppressed since I was born!"

"You don't know the meaning of oppression until you understand what I deal with everyday when I leave the house (which isn't often)!"

"Hey, can I share the story of when I was victimized?"

"I feel you, I've been a victim a lot! Let me tell you about it."

I don't think any of that was directed at you. More like commentary on the way things are nowadays.
