Again, you are talking out of both sides of your mouth. You say youd prepare for Hurricanes, but it's always people like you who think you know more than people who study these fields who would always downplay severity until it happened. Given your general anti-Government, anti-science sentiment, I see no reason to think you'd actually listen when told youd need to evacuate leading into a storm. Unless you're not as stupid as you're advertising and are just being an internet tough guy.
The term was definitely changed because idiots couldnt comprehend that rise in global average temperature causes extreme weather events of varying types.
So, like that other guy who proved himself wrong already, your problem is you dont like the terms? If someone says atmospheric river you get all souped-up? It's the same thing as a cloud band. A long string of storm clouds, and it's not a new term. Atmospheric rivers bring heavy rain and flooding, so an increase in them, brings an increase in both.
And yes people want you to be aware of changes in weather patterns...climate...change. That area in central America I highlighted earlier isnt getting LESS rainfall than normal, it's getting unpredictable rainfall that's ruining crops. Your State is responsible for over 10% of the U.S. food supply. Crop failure happens there and millions of people become food insecure.
I'm not advertising anything and I'm not being an internet tough guy. You're projecting all those things on to me. What I do is use common sense. The government lies to us every day. Hell, they employ someone to stand on the podium to lie to us every day. Therefore I do not trust the government. Simple as that. You wouldn't trust your spouse if they lied to you every day but you trust the government. I'm the one that uses common sense here. You do not.
I know from real world experience that Florida experiences hurricanes so I would prepare and evacuate like any sane person because I don't think that standing out in my front yard with an American flag, a can of Coors and a shotgun while trying to prove how tough I am in a hurricane would be a good idea.
You're missing the point in that these terms are being propagandized. The news is making average storms seem potentially catastrophic by calling them atmospheric rivers instead of rain. The same types of weather you experienced as a kid is still happening today, yet it's labeled differently now and they have you hook, line and sinker because now you're worried about the same shit people have been dealing with since the beginning of time. Wake up. You've been hooked by propaganda again.
