Tropical Storm Rafael Discussion Number  28
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL182024
300 AM CST Sun Nov 10 2024

Rafael continues to gradually weaken.  Satellite images show that
the low-level center remains exposed, with an area of shrinking deep
convection located well east of the center.  The initial intensity
is reduced to 35 kt, in accordance with nearby buoy observations and
recent satellite intensity estimates.  Gradual weakening is 
expected due to a harsh environment of very dry air aloft and wind 
shear.  The system should lose organized deep convection later 
today and become a post-tropical cyclone in about 24 hours.  Only 
small changes were made to the previous intensity forecast.

The storm is basically drifting to the north-northwest now, and   
Rafael is forecast to make a small clockwise loop during the next 
day or so over the central Gulf of Mexico in light steering 
currents.  After that time, the low-level flow should steer the 
cyclone or its remnants southward and southwestward, and the 
remnant low should open up into a trough of low pressure in about 3 
days.  The new forecast is a touch east of the previous one in the 
near term and also shows dissipation a little sooner based on the 
latest model solutions.

Rafael poses no direct threat to land, but swells from the storm are
still contributing to an elevated rip current risk along the
northern and western Gulf Coast. Also, the interaction of distant
moisture from Rafael with a slow-moving front will cause heavy
rainfall and potentially significant flash flooding across portions
of southwestern and central Louisiana through this morning.

Key Messages:

1. Swells generated by Rafael are likely to cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions along the Gulf Coast through the
weekend.

    Liberal Elite At UN Climate Conference Calls For Meat Tax 

    The UN Climate Change Conference, known this year as COP29, kicked off on Monday and will last through the 22nd of this month. Many of the usual climate grifters have skipped the event as de-growth ‘green’ policies in the US are being prepared to be rolled back to some degree under a Trump presidency. Even Swedish far-left activist Greta Thunberg skipped the event (pre-occupied with pro-Palestine protests?). 

    On Tuesday, UN Secretary-General António Guterres told the world leaders who attended the event that last year’s meeting was a “master class in climate destruction,” adding, “The sound you hear is the ticking clock.”

    Guterres also said the transition to clean energy “won’t be stopped by no group, no business, and no government.” He was likely referring to Trump’s plan to roll back certain climate policies that are strangling the economy and simultaneously boosting inflation, making US companies unable to compete in international markets. At the same time, China operates free of these de-growth policies. 

    One particular speech by Willem Branten, the public affairs officer of True Animal Protein Price (TAPP) Coalition, a non-profit foundation focused on taxing real meat out of existence to reset the global food supply chain into a planet-based future, caught the internet’s attention given radical far left and their billionaire funders have been pushing fake meat and insects as a way to solve the so-called ‘climate crisis.’ 

    LoL.

    WEF propaganda non-sense. 

    TAPP’s Branten said the quiet part out loud: using policy warfare, such as the “greenhouse gas emission price mechanism” – or a meat tax – to fund their climate crisis agenda and eventually end the overconsumption of animal protein.

    Calling for a meat tax while US retail ground beef prices are soaring shows just how out-of-touch liberals are with concerns of the working class. That’s why they lost the election in the US. 

    In other words, the themes of de-growth and de-population promoted by the UN are being pushed by radical leftists who want to control every facet of life—what you eat, drive, and how you live. Trump’s victory last week was a vote by the American people that rejects radical climate grifters and their Marxist friends that have sparked the worst inflation storm in a generation.
