The characteristics and likely causes of the Medieval megadroughts in North America

(Reuters) -Californians were urged to ratchet down the use of electricity in their homes and businesses on Wednesday as a wave of extreme heat settles over much of the state, stretching tight power supplies to their breaking point.
Temperatures in the most populous state are forecast to climb to well above 100 Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) during the afternoon.
The extreme conditions are the latest sign of the impact of climate change in the U.S. West, where wildfires and severe drought have emerged as a growing threat. As spells of excessive heat become more frequent, the strain on power and water utilities will become more acute, scientists say.
To prevent power outages, residents and businesses are asked to turn off lights and appliances and preset their thermostats to 78F (26C). Reducing usage is especially critical from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. local time (2300 to 0400 GMT), when demand across the state typically peaks and solar power generation begins to ebb.

People suffer so Gaia won’t have to.
But buy more electric cars, and don’t plug them in when you get home…
Cut power use means, no electricity for EVs.
Wonder if democrats will see the irony in that?
The extreme conditions are the latest sign of the impact of climate change“
Ugh the BS is relentless
But, but, but? How are they going to charge their electric cars?
They wouldn’t have this problem if everyone bought an electric vehicle
I remember being a kid in Los Angeles in the 50s and sitting on the front porch during Thanksgiving drinking lemonade because it was a freaking 100 degrees.
People should just charge up their Tesla and run their house from the Tesla, problem solved.
Left there for Texas 4 years ago. They intentionally don’t build enough energy and water infrastructure in order to cut down on world population. Yeah, its stupid, but hey...
<< Temperatures in the most populous state are forecast to climb to well above 100 Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) during the afternoon. >>
I just looked at a weather map of the entire state. Average temps everywhere. Only triple digits are in the deserts, which is normal.
They want us to revert back to the stone age. Except in this stone age - No fires allowed due to climate change.
How are those Interruptible Energy Supplies, i.e. wind and solar, working for you numb nuts?

= = =
But they don’t say to not charge your EV!
“The extreme conditions are the latest sign of the impact of climate change in the U.S. West, “
Ugh, SO sick of this presumption being stated as fact.
Too bad I will not be around to point and laugh when the next cooling cycle begins.
YA....but buy 100,000 more electric vehicles!! .... /sarc
Yep. It’s population that’s straining power and water resources, not climate change. Stupid policy doesn’t help either.
Yes this is sarcasm but sadly it is exactly how Liberals really rationalize
