Maybe global warming is for real. Maybe conservative deniers have been wrong.

Geoengineering, they been spraying the crap out of the skies ,, messing with jetstreams has consequences

I think maybe long droughts are not unusual in California. I had found out some years ago that there was a 25 year drought in CA in the second half of the 1800s. It killed off the cattle industry. In geologic terms, maybe that’s a thing that comes along every 100-150 years, or something.

Kinda wish we had gone for some desalinization plants, instead of the “high speed rail” project.

HAARP...

The unseasonal balmy but dry weather is the result of an equally unprecedented high pressure ridge lurking offshore and blocking the typical winter storms needed to drop precipitation all along the West Coast.

I wonder if the high off the Pacific Coast is related to the low bearing down over the Midwest (and bringing polar air with it). Maybe the regular "storm door" will open on the West Coast once the low in the Midwest disappears.

[dalereed]

Not that unusual, I've seen it at least a dozen times in my lifetime.

Get an early rain and you can count on a dry season in So. California.

Having spent my entire life in the construction industry i’m conscious of weather patterns where most people can't remember from one year to the next.

It is a ridge.

Why it dynamite the damned thing and free the water it holds the

We still got the pacific ocean. It’s not like we’re gonna run outta water soon....

[Eagles6]

I think it’s called weather. We are presently in an interglacial period. Before too long everything north of 48 degrees will be under a mile of ice. I guarantee it.

The unseasonal balmy but dry weather is the result of an equally unprecedented high pressure ridge...

Hyperbole much?

[chessplayer]

This ridge has persisted for 13 months and the longer it lingers, the less likely it is to leave, points out climatologist Brian Fuchs, from the National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. This high pressure ridge system is feeding on itself, “creating a sort of perfect environment for perpetuating the dry conditions” it creates, he says.

Yup. The longer it goes on without a break, the more it will feed on itself and become even more difficult to end. This drought isn’t going to end anytime soon,,,and by soon I mean years. I seriously believe in the coming years every forest/woodland in CA will be destroyed by wildfires.

“It’s always difficult to know if a specific disaster or storm is tied to climate change,” he says, but over the course of decades it is possible to see large trends moving in a certain direction. “You can’t really pinpoint one thing, but you can say that over a period of decades there is less snow accumulation and warmer temperatures, and climate change is playing a part in that,” he adds."

But I thought so-called "man-made climate change" was responsible for colder and harsher winters? Wasn't this the reasoning behind the switch from "global warming" to "climate change"?

[Redcloak]

Maybe it’s being caused by the big piles of hope and change we’ve left laying around.

[Fai Mao]

Maybe God is punishing them

At least one could always hope

[Drago]

Persistent “La Niña” high pressure ridge/Northerly jet stream is caused by the global cooling trend? Maybe I should apply for some federal grant $$ to study it!

[AnotherUnixGeek]

It’ll start raining soon enough. For now, I’m enjoying the beautiful weather.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

The song was right, It doesnt rain in southern California.
