I'm sure the burning of fossil fuels is causing all the rain in California this rainy season.
More likely all the gas stoves that the potato in the WH wants banned for cooking.

California was bitching all year about drought. It starts raining and they bitching about flooding.
Go figure
Go figure

I’m gonna have to see what dr Josh says about this one

Cyclone bomb
Atmospheric river
I think more to do with Weather Channel creating drama and selling advertising than climate change. But I could have an upper level high in my head.

We are getting dumped on pretty good and have been for the last two weeks, so maybe this will be a big year. Supposed to get 2 ft lake level snow today and tomorrow.
Same thing happened last year in December and January. Rest of the winter was dry.

Exactly, there's always a positive.
Snow is melting? More water! More arable land! More dinosaur skeletons!
Warmer temps? Finally, fricking Ohio and Pennsylvania people don't have to clog up I-75 heading south to leave their sad, dreary homes!

When it comes to making claims for climate change, you have to just come up with names to create the need for extra fear

No, ffs.
It was first coined 30 years ago in early 90’s.

Water conservationists in Cali stressing right now.
There is this massive body of water to the west of the state that they are refusing to utilize.

No. It’s been a thing since weather was a thing.

It actually doesn’t help the citizens at all because their environmentalist policies designed to protect certain aquatic species prevent them from retaining much of that runoff to store in reservoirs for after this rain event is over. The overwhelming majority of this prodigious rainfall is going to be “wasted” flowing right back into the ocean.
Yeah, many of the farms in the Valley have signs off the freeway complaining about this exact thing. " Newsome stop wasting our water".

I guess the default position is that every new weather discovery is caused by climate change…or Covid…or whatever else we should be afraid of.
And the solution is always more funding to study it. And more regulations to control it. Whatever “it” is at the moment.

This time of year is the rainy season in Cali.

Nearly a decade ago, California taxpayers from both sides of the aisle, overwhelmingly approved the $7+ Billion Sites Reservoir in 2014, so far they’ve received more action from the state’s resident beaver population than their Democratic governors and elected officials.
quote:
“If Sites were open today, we’d have nearly 1 million acre feet of water for farms, the environment, cities,” said the authority’s executive director Jerry Brown (no relation to the former governor).
But here’s the thing: Sites isn’t ready to open today, tomorrow or anytime soon. Mired in red tape and struggling with rising costs, even after the project was downsized, the reservoir isn’t scheduled to begin construction until 2024 and wouldn’t begin filling until 2030.
Millions upon millions of gallons of freshwater per minute are currently being salinited thanks to the corruption and ineptitude of Californian politicians.

Agreed... and you can start with this comment:
"Natural phenomena but caused by climate change, clearly we need to throw truck loads of cash at this in order to find out more."
-------------------------------------
Nowhere in the graphic does it attribute the atmospheric river to climate change. It says that it has the effect of climate change.
