These emperor and king tides are primarily driven by sea level rise — a knock on impact of human-forced warming. But during an El Nino year, as with this year, wind patterns along the East Coast tend to drive tides even higher. At El Nino times, lows tend to form off the US East Coast. These lows tend to generate a consistent northeasterly wind that pushes against the northward flow of the Gulf Stream. This action reduces the Gulf Stream’s ability to pull water away from our shores, and some of that water rebounds against the US East Coast.<br /><br />During a normal year, this would somewhat increase the height of East Coast tides. But, due to Greenland melt pumping fresh water into the North Atlantic, the heat and salt driven circulation that generates the Gulf Stream is weakening (See Signs of Gulf Stream Weakening). So this year’s series of El Nino lows are forming over seas that are already rebounding against the US East Coast. Forming in seas that have already risen due to the melting of glaciers around the world.

We can look at healthcare, higher education and the National Security State as trillion-dollar examples of systems that become increasingly costly even as their performance declines or falls off the cliff.<br /><br />This is the lesson of history, as described in the seminal book The Upside of Down: Catastrophe, Creativity, and the Renewal of Civilization.<br /><br />Collapse does not need to be complete or sudden. Collapse tends to be a process, not an event.<br /><br />Collapse begins when you can’t find any doctors willing to accept Medicaid payments, when the potholes don’t get filled even when voters approve millions of dollars in new taxes, and when kids aren’t learning anything remotely useful or practical despite the school board raising tens of millions of dollars in additional property taxes.<br /><br />Collapse begins when real reform becomes impossible.<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-77551558011663451152015-11-06T16:37:31.379-06:002015-11-06T16:37:31.379-06:00Wow, that's tellin' it like it is, Dredd. ...Wow, that's tellin' it like it is, Dredd. Now if we can only somehow convince an already depraved and on-the-way-out (as in, about to become obsolete) government to correct this before they completely dissolve as the crisis peaks (about when the food shortages and grid failure hits), that would be doing something. <br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
