Something I find rather unsettling is the very peculiar word choices by both sides.
One says its an emergency.
The other side says it has happened before.
Something that fits both sides statements is a hurricane, or a drought both long term and short term. There's a lot of really bad stuff that happens only rarely.
Its like both sides are trying to act out a scripted dramatic play. "Here's your weird lines to talk past each other, now get on stage and make it look good"
Another thing that's weird is the reported statements exclusively come from cranks outside the field, and people inside the field where its well known that any doubting of official belief means permanent removal of funding, so anyone trusting either side is a fool. Wheres the quotes from a reasonable disinterested 3rd party, perhaps a TV meteorologist or a fluid dynamics physics professor (although retribution if the admit lack of faith in belief could still impact them, they're probably less personally financially motivated). We're dealing with religious-style beliefs on both sides, rational thinking didn't get them there nor is it going to get them outta there, belief isn't controlled by reason. So where's a non-belief based observation and discussion? I suppose that's not good clickbait so it may exist but we won't be permitted to read it.

I have yet to see a claim as to why the jetstream near the tropics moving in a slightly unusual way qualifies as an "emergency". It's not like there's some wall around the equator to suddenly got broken down and all the weather is going to go crazy now. It just doesn't make sense, and they didn't say anything to make it credible.
