Two years ago, media outlets were headlining strident messages that California had moved into a “megadrought” and that there was little hope for relief.Story after story claimed that global warming had permanently changed the situation and that California’s reservoirs would remain unfilled.
Fast forward two years and these apocalyptic warnings appear more like a rendition of chicken-little than reliable climate science.Massive rainfall has hit the Golden State, while we in the Northwest are enjoying a warmer-than-normal winter with less snowpack than normal.
Below is the percent of average precipitation for the last month over the western U.S.
Some parts of California have received over 400% of normal!

You mean that "atmospheric river" that's been running wild for EONS?? Often times referred to as the Jet Stream??ROG62 » 18 Feb 2024, 11:56 am » wrote: ↑ Oh noooooo, not the atmospheric river...but, but, but it's too late, greta says so...

Which wasn't really discovered until the second World War.
THAT one??
Yes, but it would destroy the habitat of some curly tailed mouse, so liberals sue to stop any plans for new water storage.GHETTOBLASTER » 18 Feb 2024, 2:30 pm » wrote: ↑ California has so many natural locations in the Sierra Nevada foothills where reservoirs could be built with just one concrete wall.

The jet stream is not the same as a atmospheric river idiot.

A long, narrow, and transient corridor of strong horizontal water vapor transport that is typically associated with a low-level jet stream ahead of the cold front of an extratropical cyclone. The water vapor in atmospheric rivers is supplied by tropical and/or extratropical moisture sources.
The jet steam.goes across the United states without an atmospheric river you idiot.Beekeeper » 19 Feb 2024, 7:14 am » wrote: ↑ You march your little LYING *** over to the American Meteorological folks and tell them that.
