NASA predicts moon 'wobble' and climate change will lead to more floods, more often

The moon is wobbling.

There’s really no other way to say it.

Scientists identified the tipping points by studying tide gauge locations in the coastal US (excepting Alaska).

Information like this could be crucial for coastal inhabitants and planners.

But what does the wobbly moon have to do with this?

How does the wobble change what’s already occurring?

Experts split the moon’s 18.6-year orbit into two halves, or tide cycles.

For the other half, however, the effect is reversed.

Tides are amplified: High tides get higher and low tides get lower.

High tides will be higher than ever, causing flood numbers to dramatically increase on the coastlines.
