California suffering through SEVERE climate change

California Facing Worst Drought on Record | NOAA Climate.gov

The most populated state in the country is facing what may be its worst drought in a century of record-keeping. On January 20, the governor of California declared a state of emergency, urging everyone to begin conserving water. Water levels in all but a few reservoirs in the state are less than 50% of capacity, mountains are nearly bare of snow except at the highest elevations, and the fire risk is extreme. In Nevada, the situation is much the same.

Wonder why that could be

 

[HelenaHandbag]

Could it be because the planet's environment and climates have never ever been homogenous?

 

[Katzndogz]

It's because the Pacific is too cold. If it would warm up a bit, we'd have an El Nino and lots of storms. This isn't climate change, this is part of the natural climate.

Droughts happened before droughts will happen again

 

[Katzndogz]

We had a terrible drought a few years ago. It was so bad, there was some talk of building desalinization plants along the ocean. Then it rained and the plan was scrapped, as if we would never again have another drought.

The climate is the same. It is just fine as it is. We have too many people living in California so droughts have a much more severe effect than it did say in the 50s or even 60s.

Gee, I don't know, maybe the same reason some years we get slammed with tornadoes and hurricanes and other years it's fairly quiet. Maybe why some years there are severe snow storms and some years it's mild. Maybe why some years we have unusual heat waves and then other years we wonder when summer is coming.

Maybe for the same reason there have been massive droughts in parts of the world throughout human history and some years there has been massive flooding.

we had one of the wettest years a couple of years ago

Climate change, the artist formerly known as global warming......

In case nobody noticed the East Coast was in a drought for most of the 90's and now there is a surplus of rain. Do the warmers have enough sense to understand that climate fluctuations have occurred since the freaking dinosaurs roamed Manhattan? We didn't freaking do it and we should not have to pay reparations to some flea bit country in Africa because of our decadence. Blame that nuclear reactor in the sky if you need to vent your hatred.

 

[Moonglow]

This is the worst drought since the late 1970's when I was in california, there was also a drought of jobs then also

 

[LTCArmyRet]

sounds somewhat like "chicken little" syndrome.

 

[Katzndogz]

The idea that individual action can control the climate, or storms, or rainfall, or any natural occurrence is something that one would expect from a savage culture. Something close to being prehistoric. Maybe we should sacrifice a few virgins to the rain god.

I know of one individual, who, by his actions, created a dump site that is known as one of the largest superfund sites in the U.S. So yes, one individual can have a huge impact on the environment.

meh



Another bomb thrower thread by a AGW mental case.



Drought this time.......and people aren't that stoopid. If we take a quick peek at a couple of decades in the 20th century, we see VERY CLEARLY that drought happens all the fucking time.......the AGW k00ks want the observer in the present at all times, taking any natural event at any given time and making it into something associated with climate change.

As we can see here.......you have to have a plate in your head to become hysterical like this hyper-wing nut.







For California, 1931, 1934, 1939, 1956, 1959 and 1966 we horrible years for Califonia in terms of drought. Other years? Not so much!! Like any other states.......assholes!!!








Indeed......severe drought has been going on forever all over the world.......long before Ford started rolling SUV's off the assembly line!!!!


Chronology of Extreme Weather


These AGW assholes are phonies and will present ANYTHING as part of global warming.

Is that why people pray to God for rain? Or that religious people believe that God is punishing them for their sins by droughts, floods or tornadoes?
My ecclesiastical theologian baptist Grandmother always told me it is God's will what happens on the Earth and in Heaven.

True.

One man, George Norris, was mostly responsible for creating the TVA. One of the biggest environmental catastrophes in American history.

this is part of the ONCE EVERY 100+ YEARS natural climate.

Yeah, just because we have billions of vehicles, most not regulated like in this great nation, belching billions of tons of GHG's into our closed system makes no diff at all

Do you alarmists ever get tired of blaming normal weather patterns on Bush?

California's current drought is being billed as the driest period in the state's recorded rainfall history. But scientists who study the West's long-term climate patterns say the state has been parched for much longer stretches before that 163-year historical period began.And they worry that the "megadroughts" typical of California's earlier history could come again.
Through studies of tree rings, sediment and other natural evidence, researchers have documented multiple droughts in California that lasted 10 or 20 years in a row during the past 1,000 years — compared to the mere three-year duration of the current dry spell. The two most severe megadroughts make the Dust Bowl of the 1930s look tame: a 240-year-long drought that started in 850 and, 50 years after the conclusion of that one, another that stretched at least 180 years.
"We continue to run California as if the longest drought we are ever going to encounter is about seven years," said Scott Stine, a professor of geography and environmental studies at Cal State East Bay. "We're living in a dream world."

Scientists: Past California droughts have lasted 200 years

If that was caused by CO2 then California should have a lot more of it than the other states.
Do they?
