Thanks El Niño, But California’s Drought Is Probably Forever
Even if you can’t define a drought, you should by now know exactly what one looks like: California.
And this?
And it was all your fault
Experts stunned as US reservoirs reach historically high levels: ‘Incredible’
Reservoir levels in California are at a historical high after years of drought.
According to Newsweek, which cited data from the Golden State’s Department of Water Resources, water levels in all key reservoirs are at or above 100% of the recorded averages for this time of year. The major reservoirs serve as main water sources for almost 40 million Californians in addition to farming operations across the state.
After several unprecedented atmospheric rivers — long, narrow regions in the sky that transport water vapor and can cause extreme rainfall — across the state, particularly in the Sierra Nevada, water levels surged dramatically. (big snip)
With record high heat and this year expected to be the hottest in history, the warming climate is making storms exponentially stronger, creating extreme weather events that are devastating food and water supplies. Small changes in your routine to minimize pollution and use less plastic make a big difference to cool things down and alleviate the stress on the planet.
So, the drought is over (water storage is 115% of normal), and it is still your fault for flood.
It’s good that California has some good news for a change.
There is always some variability especially on long term trends
So unsurprising
American ranchers are reducing their beds. The cattle herds. The US cattle herd is at its lowest joint since 1950. One reason is drought. That is why Trump’s friend Bill Gates, told you that you would be eating insects soon
