The whole south western US is that way, has been for hundreds of thousands of years.
So why is this news, and why is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration putting out this crap.
I thought their job was SPACE.

Unfortunately, no climate model to date, developed by NASA or anyone else has been worth a bucketful of rat poop.

Why they keep trying to pretend that models are worth anything long term baffles normal people no end.

And yes, global warming is real, and has existed forever.
Anthropogenic?
Never even close to having been proved scientifically and conclusively. Certainly not based on the CO2 stupidity.

Gee...howz come he didnt predict the current drought?

That's not as relevant as the destruction of hundreds of dams where they helped the most, built with foresight over the previous 100 years, Merely to satisfy the ignorant, dope-infested 'Bugs and Bunny' crowd.

But the sardines and snails were happy until everything dried up, only sooner than otherwise, and surprise! They are all now dying anyway.

And agriculture, and the well-being of millions is increasingly at risk.

Stupidity is open ended, and aside from normal weather changes is among the most abundant things in the universe.

"We were studying tree rings.....They show droughts and heavy rainfall. Perhaps NASA should read a few of the research papers"

No money or power in that.

Funny thing is when they talk about dam removal they never mention the “Carbon Footprint”. I wonder why that is?

The guess is that March and April will be wet in So Cal.

During the last glacial advance Death Valley was a 600’ deep glacier fed lake.

For that matter, for most of the last few million years, a mile of ice over Chicago was the norm.

At the moment, however, Mo’ Nature seems to be more focused on the Boston area...
