It’s called weather. Defund NPR!
“With Climate Change, California Is Likely To See More Extreme Flooding”
Or drought, whichever.
The climate cult. The high priests and apologists declare: Angry mother gaia punishing a materialistic, wicked and wasteful mankind, can bring any punishment she wants in the form of heat, drought, flood, hurricane, tornado, or even urban unrest and higher prices for avocados.
She is truly all-powerful! We must appease her!
Wait. I thought that with climate change they were going to have a bad drought.
It was only a matter of time before they switched from drought caused by climate change to flooding caused by climate change. Whatever is happening, that is bad, is caused by climate change. What frauds. I would take them more seriously if their bs was not so obvious but they just cannot help themselves.
Damn that nasty climate change. Can't make up it's mind.
Because two years ago, 97% of scientists were not screaming at volume 11 that it was indeed global warming that was the cause of the drought that was never ever ever end. Problem is liberals totally do not remember this because when you are a liberal, history starts every morning
“If it’s warmer, storms produce more rain instead of snow.”
Record snow fall at mammoth mountain:
Dopey water management will have nothing to do with it.
Good golly- not a peep about flooding in Cali before htis0 infact they were claiming climate change was responsible for the droughts- now it’s responsible for flooding? By golly, is there anything climate change isn’t responsible for?
Too little water? Climate Change!! Too much water? Climate Change!! Gee, I wonder what the solution is? Do you think it may have something to do with a ton of regulations and a massive tax and spending program?
Didn’t they just finish telling us California would be in perpetual drought because of climate change?
Drought caused floods? Only in La La Land!
They obviously haven’t read about the 1861-1862 floods that essentially turned the majority of California’s Central Valley into a sea. If it weren’t for the dams built in the 1930’s to 1960’s, the Central Valley would be under almost that much water right now.
Well, duh. Maybe that's why more storms in Miami are rain storms and not snow storms. Someone please explain to me why a given storm produces more water when it's warm than if the same storm occurs when it is cold.
Absolute BS.
This storm sequence is utterly normal. It happens on about a decadal cycle.
Been here, seen that.
Actual rainfall is consistent with storms in 1998, 1993, 1982, and even more going back into the 60’s and 50’s.
It’s actually LESS water then was considered routine in the 50’s high point. But not much.
There’s nothing “extreme” about this storm. It’s ordinary business in California. The storms in ‘82 caused far more damage - what was the excuse for that?
Utterly predictable that these buttwipes at Stahn-Ford would try to take advantage of the situation and claim “Climate change! Yeaaaaaa! We’re all gonna die!”
He is, of course, just making this up.
The Sierra snow pack is >200% of average. The dams and waterways are designed for many different winter scenarios, but they do need an alleged governor who is interested in maintaining them.
