Is "atmospheric river" a new meteorological term because of climate change?

Buzz word to get clicks. Like bomb cyclone. Didnt they used to call those low pressure systems?

More click bait like radar indicated rotation and debris field.

climate change is based upon an assumption of a static climate which never existed.

So Californians should be proponents of climate change. They finally getting much needed rain to help with their drought. Though I bet it doesn't help with their green narrative for which they use to extort money from their citizens.

I commented about that last week.

Atmospheric river is a new scare phrase along with bomb cyclone.

This weekend they we’d covering flooding rains in California while showing California is having a terrible drought.

Is Lake Mead filling back up? Or is it still drying up? Who knows. You’d think the atmospheric river and bomb cyclones might help.

California was bitching all year about drought. It starts raining and they bitching about flooding.
Go figure

Cyclone bomb

Atmospheric river

I think more to do with Weather Channel creating drama and selling advertising than climate change. But I could have an upper level high in my head.

When it comes to making claims for climate change, you have to just come up with names to create the need for extra fear

No. It’s been a thing since weather was a thing.

It’s just the first time you’ve heard it
