My point was that while the actual weather event has presumably been happening for all of human history, it is only in the last decade or so that the term "bomb" has been applied to it, which I conclude is solely for clickbait reasons.

It's been a trend in "journalism" for a very long time. You ignored what I said and repeated yourself, good job.
- PopAlongKid 4y ago>to make sure the lowest common denominator comprehends what they're reading So are you saying that prior to the last 10-15 years, "lowest common denominator" people didn't understand anything about when a low pressure system developed quite rapidly around them, changing the local weather drastically -- because there was no easy-to-understand name for it?
- thefurdrake 4y agoNo, that is indeed not what I am saying.
