New York's old rainfall record stood for 150 years until 2021, and has now been broken three times. Hot air holds more water vapor than cold; flooding follows fossil fuel combustion as night follows day.

@billmckibben 150 yrs ago, was it man made climate change?
@billmckibben “flooding follows fossil fuel combustion as night follows day.” Well, Texas used to be completely underwater long before the combustion of fossil fuels.
@billmckibben Just the weather. This does not happen yearly.
@billmckibben @sree An excellent excuse to leave that overpriced hellhole
@billmckibben Mainstream Economists can never depreciate CO2, make rain fall upward or raise ecosystems from the dead. They are selling us a one way ticket to go over the ledge, where there is no feasible return to business as usual.
@billmckibben Wait. I thought we were going to starve and die from thirst. You mean there will actually be a little more rain?
@billmckibben Gee.......I wonder if it could be El Nino, building in flood plains and an inadequate sewer system.
@billmckibben The city is on the coast and built on a landfill for goodness sake
@billmckibben Right like today is a good example of hot air. A cold inverted trough that was poorly aimed created this today. Temperatures are 8-12+ degrees below average. Dewpoints are in the 50s.
