NASA says Moon is Wobbling!

NASA has advised that the Moon is Wobbling, and as a result flooding may increase.

As if we didn't have enough to worry about.

I was curious about the actual 18.6 year cycle they refer to. Apparently it's the Lunar Nodal Cycle. More info here https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa...ortance-in-Sea

Interesting. Very strange cycle.

All those private islands and watery estates are going to go under sooner than anticipated.

Any problems on the lake?

We need to start building canals.
Maybe call them Lowell-Canali-ways.

I can confirm that, after consuming much red wine, the moon wobble is indeed visible to the naked eye.

I find most things either wobble or spin when consuming many alcoholic beverages.

The lack of specifics is a concern.
How much higher do they "predict" the water will rise?
The article has a "the sky is falling" flavour in my view.
