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.

Oh
For
Pete’s
Sake.
Flood prevention are WHY Resivours were built , and they are about bone dry so im not worried.
Fear porn diversion media
to keep Californians from asking why the rivers downstream of the resivours are running high at the height of summer and why the state is dumping the water out of our resivours as fast as they can during a drought.
Watch,
if asked that they will claim they have to make room in the resivours to hold back
” the climate change floods.”
L.A. under water? What is the downside? Finally, there is a solution to L.A. sidewalks covered in human waste.
Oh, you know all the warming will bring that Big Quake on and soon!
Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria.🙄
Experts = those who don’t earn their own money.
That will cure their drought - the Colorado needs that water !
And monkeys could fly out of my butt also…
I think the quake comes when they suck all the ground water out, let the illegal alien-set wildfires run rampant and then when rain downpours do hit, the sink deep and screw with the killer faults..
That’s coming. I was in the 89 Loma Prieta quake in Palo Alto and I saw all I needed to see.
What a load of ecofreak crap.
I remember seeing a copy of “Harper’s Weekly” from the early 1860’s.
There was an engraving of California’s Central Valley after a massive rainstorm. Much of it was under water, and people were moving around in row boats.
Somehow, California survived. That area is now some of the most productive farmland in the world, with 200 different crops feeding America and the world.
Expert BSers.
lol
I’m betting Brandon can handle a massive flood with help from Nancy. If only they could make it hit Nov2024.
California has al long history of droughts, some lasting two hundred years. It’s basically a desert.
Rain? We’ve forgotten what rain looks like in NorCal, bring it on.
Again? How many times has this been predicted?
(Not that LA going under water is a bad thing…)
Well its been promised that later day Sodoms would not be destroyed by fire. Flooding apparently is still an option.
“Someone’s wanting to depress the housing market in Malibu.”
Don’t hold you’re breath. None of the Hollywood hypocrites really believe any of this crap.
Linkum did it ;’}
Should solve California’s drought problem.
After Katrina...we were supposed to get hit with Cat 5s...again and again and again.
