Some cities may even experience more than 100 inches of rain, the study published Friday in the Science Advances journal says, displacing 5 to 10 million people, cutting off the state’s freeways for weeks or even a month and causing worldwide economic damage.
California has faced such massive flooding every century or two over the past millennia, and in 1862, before the state invested in flood mitigation technologies, a Great Flood stretched up to 300 miles long and 60 miles across.
In 2010, scientists looked into the possibility of that happening again.
This new study now expands upon that ARkStorm scenario, named after the ‘atmospheric rivers’ of moisture that could fuel a flood of biblical proportions, to take into account the effects of climate change.
They used high resolution weather models and existing climate models to compare two scenarios: One that would occur once in a century based on the historical climate of recent decades, and another in the projected climate of 2081 to 2100.
In both cases, the researchers found, a long series of storms fueled by these atmospheric rivers — which extend thousands of miles from the tropics to the western United States — could cause massive damage.
Past studies have shown that climate change will make these atmospheric rivers warmer, leading to more intense and more frequent storms.
As a result, a flood like the one that occurred in 1862 would leave ‘parts of cities such as Sacramento, Fresno and Los Angeles... under water even with today’s extensive collection of reservoirs, levees and bypasses,’ the study found.
‘It is estimated that it would be a $1 trillion disaster, larger than any in world history.’
Someone’s wanting to depress the housing market in Malibu.
“Experts” on George Soros’ payroll of course.
Good, all the right people are gonna pay for this
Beachfront property must be really, really cheap.

“Experts”
Well, as long as we get Jim Robinson out, I don’t see a problem here……..
I’d be far more worried about their public pension funds...
I’m not seeing the problem here.

These folks are impressive—they got caught lying for decades and their response—
Double down!
P.S. If anyone notices that the lies accuse them of being “ignorant” and “deplorables”!
“””The scientists found that an extreme monthlong storm could bring several feet of rain to hundreds of miles of California “””
There once was a phrase covering this scientific finding:
Collegiate Masturbation.
So there was climate change going on in 1862?
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.
> Researchers at UCLA found that climate change is doubling the chances of biblical flooding to occur in California. <
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.
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
