OBX Wave Report April 17 — CO2, Sting Jets, Bomb Cyclones, Deluges… 1-4 Foot Waves
Through fossil fuel burning, atmospheric CO2 levels have now increased to a maximum of around 424 parts per million in April of 2023, the highest seen in at least 3 million years. Meanwhile, the list of storms enhanced by the added heat trapped by CO2 is growing. Despite the enhanced risk of storms globally, the Outer Banks is relatively calm today with 1-4 foot waves breaking across the beaches.
