An incredibly strong quad-state tornado is rare, even more rare in December. Is tornado alley moving east? As you say, it is complicated. More data is needed. Unless you believe the old man in the sky controls all the weather. Then climate change has nothing to do with it. There was another thread for that.

I also know that it's been eight years since the last F5/EF5 tornado in the US. Compare that to the five that hit in 1953,(including one in December), four in 1968 and SEVEN in the SAME DAY, across four different states in 1974. Had that happened this year, I'm sure you would have been slitting your own wrists or more likely, looking to slit the throats of anyone you deem non-leftist enough. Certainly take an interest and fight for change, but also learn where these events appear in context. Otherwise, someone saying BOO is going to cause you to have a heart attack.

I’m not a climate nutter just because I posted about a December tornado outbreak in a climate change disaster thread. Is THIS one storm system undeniable proof of climate change? No. My moment of truth when I thought there might be something to climate change was down at Dauphin Island Alabama when the island roads were covered during high tide. I have some friends I respect from Alabama, but I still like to give them ish that they’re only a square or two above Arkansans and West Virginians on the ID 10-T chart. I also think the people of Alabama were smart enough not to build roads below high tide levels. So unless the island is sinking, ocean levels must be rising. Right? We can argue whether it’s caused by cow farts and coal plants or if it’s just the planet atmosphere going through a natural change, but does it really matter who wins the argument? My interest is more about what effects it may cause and is there anything FEASIBLE we can do about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was at home today and had a couple minutes to blow and you got the brunt of it 😜 Just one of my pet peeves, people pointing out an occurrence and declaring victory. I'm not saying you did that, but got close enough that I grabbed it and ran with it. Context is everything. When a strong hurricane season comes, it's PROOF. When a season is less productive, it's crickets. When an EF5 tornado appears, it's PROOF. When there wasn't an EF5 for eight year, it's crickets. Like I said, pet peeve. Feasible is pumping an endless supply of money into alternative energy, as money is being printing like crazy, with no backing. This approach seems to surprisingly be making an impact into oil/coal. That's a start. But it really doesn't mean jack when China pollutes like mad and a single cargo ship pumps out as much pollution as 50k cars. Pick and industry(BIG ASS CONTAINER SHIPS?), figure out a less polluting solution that is still economically viable, and mandate it. But then again, won't matter as China will give everyone the finger and still do what it's doing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which I get. But those are things that need to be discussed during budget time. Not when people are in a disaster situation. I like the idea of foreign aid funding(which there seems to always be plenty of) being utilized to fund domestic disaster relief efforts automatically so Americans can get immediate assistance. But yeah rand isn’t looking good in this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could it be that because he knows his no vote isn’t going to stop the aid from going out, and that his issue isn’t about the aid itself but about where the funding comes from, that it’s a win/win to go on record that the funding sources for domestic aid are coming from the wrong funding sources? obviously when it’s his own state it’s not win/win to not ask for the funding. yeah it’s hypocritical but it is chess not checkers.

Perhaps it works on a bunch of rubes that are totally ignorant about actually legislating. When Americans are suffering, it isn't the time or place to make a stand about the budgeting processes.
