You're right and wrong. The company I work with works with the NWS. You'll see intense hurricanes this year as well as a fairly hot summer (but this I mean you're going to see long periods of time where high pressure systems are sitting on top of the area baking it with little to no relief) , but this is mostly due to the extraordinary slow La Nina that is about to take place, it is also why this next winter will be brutal. Climate change exists, but to attribute it as the sole reason for intense weather is lazy..
What do you mean you work "with" the National Weather Service. Do you work "for" the NWS? Calling people lazy is lazy.
The company I work with works hand in hand with the NWS. I chase severe weather for a living (tornados, hurricanes, blizzards, heat waves etc.) Obviously there are people way more knowledgeable than myself, nobody should take mine, or really anyone else's word for gospel.
I absolutely hate it when climate change is used as the main factor for weather changes, it's A factor, not THE factor. It does exist, not saying it doesnt. With how volatile people are in 2024 doing this just ends up politicizing it which is even more toxic and why people dont think climate change exists.
I dont really care if you think it's lazy, thats my opinion, just as you have yours.
What about the weakened Jet Stream allowing Arctic Air to slide over the United States (Polar Vortex) repeatedly, and the probable collapse of the Atlantic Current?
