I know, I know, that's not how they do things in California.
Like climate change was to produce more hurricanes after katrina....
When all that snow melts from this past winter, it's gonna flood California anyway!

No matter what happens, it is rock-solid, scientific proof that global warming... er... man made climate change is real.
It is a scientific fact that weather changes are caused by people, particularly fossil fuel (but not massive amounts of coal used in China).
And it is a scientific fact that politicians can stop this by massive regulation of energy business and increased taxation.
There is no room for debate. This is science.
Of course we are talking about political science, not real science. They lie about the data because they have an agenda.
This story is like hunting far and wide to find a fortune teller who got some big prediction right. With enough random guesses there are bound to be a few that are right. These people cannot accurately predict the weather a month from now. If the earth and weather were as fragile as these people claim, mankind would have become extinct long ago.
3 years ago, scientist said “climate change” was the reason for the drought now its the reason for flooding. Okay.
Last year we were told the climate change was going to cause never ending drought in California. Now that it’s rained for a couple month climate change is going to cause never ending floods. Just as predicted. Was that prediction before or after the drought prediction? Or does it even matter to these clowns. As long as the government funding keeps flowing we’ll say anything.
They never stop. What disturbs me most is that the Climate Cultists are now in control of formerly respectable universities like Stanford and many others. The Age of Enlightenment is being subverted into the Dark Ages by tenured fools.
"The findings suggest that within a few decades, continually increasing temperatures and resulting moisture losses will push California into even more persistent aridity. The study appears this week in the journal Geophysical Research Letters."
That was then:

This writer does not know the difference between variations in weather and climate change.
It is a shame that the media are too ignorant in science matters to be able to use some discernment.
Talk about junk science!
California is likely to see more extreme flooding if similar weather conditions prevail. Climate change could be in play if such conditions persist over a period of, say, 100 or more years.
...or mild weather
...or cold weather
...or warm weather
...or rainbows
But this shouldn't be a surprise, says Noah Diffenbaugh, a climate scientist at Stanford University."It's actually exactly what has been predicted by scientists for at least 30 years," he says.
He says California is likely to see more extreme flooding with climate change.
Now I know I need to move to the Georgia countryside of my youth and raise more White Faced Herefords to increase the carbon dioxide and methane levels!
I’m a Californian and I’m not in shock. It’s called a Pineapple Express and this is what they do. The one in ‘93 was worse.
Until this year they were saying because of climate change California would be in a permanent drought? Which is it idiots?
“Californians are in shock that after five years of too little water”...If there is Global Warming,. where was it for Cali., the last five Years? Maroons..
This was the headline in this morning’s East Bay Times. Talking about how SF and Oakland airports would be flooded, etc., etc., etc. I swear that Bill Nye had the byline on it.
Good thing it was ludicrous or I could have had trouble digesting my breakfast bagel!
Actually we prayed for rain since 1988 in California, and finally got it, all at once. Happened in Texas, too.
