The Oroville Dam in northern California is the nation’s tallest dam and it creates the state’s second-largest reservoir. In February of 2017, an atmospheric river dumped a huge amount of snow then a huge amount of rain into the reservoir’s watershed.
A 30-foot wall at the top of the dam, called the weir, nearly gave way to the volumes of water and 188,000 people had to be evacuated.
“Rainfall from the atmospheric river was enhanced by about 11 to 15 percent by climate change, compared to what it would have been in pre-industrial times,” said Alexander Gershunov, a research meteorologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego.
The year 2017 was the most active year on record for atmospheric rivers in California, according to Gershunov.
The ability of air to hold moisture increases with temperature. The "Earth's Future" article's conclusions were based on climate modeling projections, which show that climate change increased the rainfall at that event.
“It illustrates very well the kind of hydroclimate change that we expect to see with climate change in California," Gershunov said. "Specifically, less frequent precipitation but more intense extremes due to atmospheric rivers.”
Climate change means California’s water supply is becoming more dependent on atmospheric rivers, which are becoming more intense. So researchers hope to be better at forecasting them.
As for preventing more climate change, Gershunov said people need to enter the "next phase in the evolution of humankind" as it relates to our development and use of energy resources.

Like a robin is the first sign of spring, a return to the global warming scam is the first sign that the covid scam is over.
Research links _________ to global warming.
You could put literally anything bad in that blank, and the media would accept it without question.
Research links bear attacks to global warming.
Research links burnt toast to global warming.
Etc.
Utter crap.
It makes a forever drought.
Except when it rains so much the dam almosts bursts.
Climate change is God. It causes everything.
We must appease climate change by self abnegation.
They are going to push this and use it as much as they used Covid for control.
Thank goodness we’re buying oil from Russia now. Let them have all the global warming instead of us.
Research links flaming assh*les in California to global warming.
Butbutbut
Dems were claiming drought from climate change. that whole time.
( to be fair , it was a dem and ecocommie induced man made drought caused by cutting off ag and letting the water flow to the ocean)
.
Someone better tell these people, they think global warming is causing droughts out west:

Or maybe these people:
https://abcnews.go.com/US/megadrought-west-directly-linked-climate-change-experts/story?id=78202024
This is how you know it is a scam, anything and everything, even diametrically opposed events, are blamed on "global warming" or "climate change" etc.
My research links agenda driven LIES to Marxist policies.
PBS...news outlet for the Democrats and liberals.
Atmospheric rivers or what we used to call the Pineapple express, are due to high and low pressure systems that get stuck in place for long periods of time. Not Globull Warming. But the uneducated people are so easy to manipulate. Useful idiots. Or what I like to call them, useless idiots.
1990 we had clouds. You know, Cumulus, Stratus, Cumulo-nimbus, Standing Alticular, and so on......
That's too heady for a dimwitted bunch of morons you're trying to scare into giving up their cars with $7 gasoline, so in 2022 we did away with clouds in favor of "Atmospheric Rivers" which are really just cloud patterns. Sounds devastating though, huh?
PBS and paid Marxist researchers advocating to tax the air and sunrise.

This study clearly states that global
warming was causal. /s
“Rainfall from the atmospheric river was enhanced by about 11 to 15 percent by climate change,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!
They’re lying, my calculations put it at 08.170042%
Even Wiki shows that this has all happened before,

Maybe we should all build expensive homes in parts of California that are prone to wildfires.
Failed Oroville Dam Spillway designed by inexperienced grad student in the 1960s (1.11.18)
Human error played a role in Oroville Dam spillway failure, report finds (1.5.18)
It is just weather if they do not think they can link it and it goes against the narrative. Otherwise it is all caused by climate change. Had it not gotten near the top of the dam it would have just been a weather event.
