@NASA is warning of a "wobble" in the moon's orbit that is set to see the world face significantly more natural disasters.

An onslaught of coastal flooding starting in the mid-2030s is expected, Nasa has warned

Numbers of floods could quadruple as the gravitational effects of the lunar cycle combine with climate change to produce "a decade of dramatic increases" in water disasters.

Coastal cities would experience "rapidly increasing high-tide floods" lasting a month or longer

The main cause is a "regular wobble" in the moon’s orbit - first recorded in 1728
@NASA "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" pic.twitter.com/ORDcI3pqC8

The wobble in the moon's orbit takes 18.6 years to complete.

For half of that time, regular daily tides on Earth are suppressed, meaning high tides are lower than normal, and low tides are higher than normalhttps://t.co/xw1WnrDfBW
— Telegraph Environment (@TeleEnvironment) July 14, 2021

During the other half of the cycle tides are amplified.

High tides get even higher, and low tides get even lower.

As global sea levels rise, the amplification effect will be increasedhttps://t.co/xw1WnrDfBW
— Telegraph Environment (@TeleEnvironment) July 14, 2021

The next "lunar assist" to high tides will be around mid-2030.

By that time global sea levels will have been rising for another decade.

It will have passed a "tipping point" and the result will be a "leap in flood numbers on almost all US mainland coastlines" @NASA said pic.twitter.com/9n9myzp7Tk

"The combination of the moon’s gravitational pull, rising sea levels, and climate change will continue to exacerbate coastal flooding on our coastlines and across the world," says Bill Nelson, head of the space agencyhttps://t.co/xw1WnrDfBW pic.twitter.com/zh7bd5p4JM

According to the UN - by 2050 coastal cities will see hundreds of millions of people at risk from floods made worse by rising seas.

The leader of @NASA's Sea Level Change Team, said urban planners should prepare for the increase in high-tide floods and extreme weather events pic.twitter.com/Glxn77Gr2s

“Low-lying areas near sea level are increasingly at risk and suffering due to increased flooding,

"It will only get worse," says Bill Nelson, head of the space agency.

Whitey's on the moon, Blackey's on the flagpole, meanwhile grandma ain't got no teef, the kids are getting gnawed by rats, and there are bullets flying everywhere. Home of the Brave indeed.

Bree sounds jealous . the flagpole climbing thing as allegory and symbolism is looking old boring and uninspiring to the masses

“Why have the peasants such disdain for outer space? Who needs housing, nutrition & healthcare when you can simply gaze at the stars?”

"Whitey's in Space..."

"Whitey's in Space..."

Like many, the "billionaire space race" brought to mind Gil Scott-Heron's 1970 poem "Whitey On the Moon" which critiqued race-class dynamics in aftermath of Apollo 11's moon landing.

I cut this video as a meditation on Scott-Heron's words in light of current events. Enjoy pic.twitter.com/YfklYmwVCe
