Researchers at UCLA found that climate change is doubling the chances of biblical flooding to occur in California With every degree the Earth is warming, scientists say, the odds and size of the state's next megaflood 'is bigger in almost every respect'
The scientists found that an extreme monthlong storm could bring several feet of rain to hundreds of miles of California Some cities may even experience more than 100 inches of rain, displacing 5 to 10 million people and cutting off the state's freeways for weeks or even a month The flood could cause $1 trillion in damages, and the economic effects of it would be felt worldwide
Climate change is putting Californians at risk of a massive flood that would cost $1 trillion in damage, displace millions of residents and submerge parts of Los Angeles and Sacramento, according to a new study.
Researchers with University of California Los Angeles found that climate change is doubling the chances of biblical flooding to occur in The Golden State.
And with each degree the Earth is warming, the odds and size of the next megaflood 'is bigger in almost every respect,' Daniel Swain, a UCLA climate scientist and co-author of the study, said in a statement.
'There's more rain overall, more intense rainfall on an hourly basis and stronger winds,' he said.
In fact, the UCLA scientists found, an extreme monthlong storm — like the one that drowned Sacramento and inundated modern Los Angeles in 1862 — could bring several feet of rain to hundreds of miles of California.

Alrighty then. Bye all you Californians. For those who get out, ditch the commie politics.
Dogs and cats will be living together.
Tell me more about these “experts” and their track record in being correct in their previous predictions.

Well, of course they did. Publish climate change alarmism or get cancelled and lose your position.
It’s kinda like being a Soviet political scientist in the 1930s. Your research had better show that Stalin is the greatest leader ever ... or else it’s off to the gulag with you.
Oh no! The “experts” are saying stuff again.
Come on, man! They predict the odds DOUBLED! That means, …. Never mind.
These days the definition of an expert is someone who has written at least one hundred peer reviewed articles in scholarly journals....
that proved to be dead wrong!
I understand there might be some native species of snail that's at risk but still.
Is this prediction because they received some rain last week ? LOL
What utter bull sh*t. Most of California is desert. Without the pipeline draining the Colorado River, it would be unlivable. Now they are trying to predict that suddenly California is going to become a flood zone? Give me a break.
Same stuff we heard in the 1970’s.
Like that would be a bad thing. 😏
When the going gets tough, the fake climate scientists go BIBLICAL!
Of course they are. It only took a week for Newsome's new Water Resource Board to totally f everything up.
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya
It pours
Man it pours
An ARkStorm scenario could easily happen again - but it, of course, has zero to do with human carbon emissions.
With all that flooding washing away the trash in California, what is the state going to do about the resulting ocean pollution? Maybe they should plan on how to clean up the nearby ocean?
Uhh, so once again some dingbat looked back into history and realized that weather happens, and it is seldom nice.
Geesh.
And the downside?

Any idiot with an ounce of common sense knows that a month long of rain is going to cause problems.
