    So it’s not climate change causing the flooding after all, it’s that damn wobbly ass moon.

      Once again asking people to read the report

      There’s nothing new or dangerous about the wobble; it was first reported in 1728. 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.

      Only a potential problem because of climate change.
