Washington -- California's drought will be one of the extreme weather events that the American Meteorological Society will examine later this year to determine whether the cause is natural variability or human-caused climate change, a federal official said Tuesday.
Scientists have not yet linked the California drought directly to climate change, Thomas Karl, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center, said Tuesday in announcing the latest study. "I'M SURE THERE'S A WAY, but we haven't done it yet," he said.

I am pretty sure that the reason for the draught is LACK OF PRECIPITATION!
Its pretty much always in drought compared to where I live. I could never live in Southern California because I hate the dry weather.
Maybe they could blame Zionist aggression and a continuing occupation of the Palestinian homeland. That’s just as good as the tripe that they will use as the assumtions for their study.
I thought “it never rains in California”. I heard it in a song, and there’s nothing entertainers don’t know, right?
Wow, sounds a lot like inventing an answer and then gathering all the data and using only the data that fits your idea. Our scientists are so amazing! /sarcasm
I could save them money.
The cause: no rain, and too many people living in areas that have always received very little rain.
How much did that save the taxpayers of Kleptofornia?
Actually, we need the guy that has the graphic showing the dude who says, “Not saying it’s aliens, but it’s aliens.”
And loving divine intervention brought Texas 5 years drought.
Good thinking charity...
I think it might be the sun’s recent solar flare activity.. Magnetic field reversal. Something like that.
Ec 1:9
“That which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.”
Remember the Dust Bowl in the 30’s.
The History Channel states “There were few things desperate Dust Bowl residents didn’t try to make it rain. Some followed the old folklore of killing snakes and hanging them belly-up on fences. Others tried shock and awe. Farmers in one Texas town paid a self-professed rainmaker $500 to fire off rockets carrying an explosive mixture of dynamite and nitroglycerine to induce showers. Corporations also touted their products to the federal government as possible solutions. Sisalkraft proposed covering the farms with waterproof paper, while a New Jersey asphalt company suggested paving the Plains.”
Thus sayeth the LORD:
“And I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.”
(Leviticus 26:19)
I bet $50 it is because if lack of rain. These people tend to miss the obvious, like the sun causes warming (when it comes up). But a hearing is a good idea...lots of screwy left wing press, lots of tax dollars spent. More wealth redistributed from my bank account to people who don’t work or won’t. Love it. Don’t let a crisis go to waste!!! [Idiots!!]
Lack of rain!
There, now send me $1 million in fees.
“or human-caused climate change, a federal official said Tuesday”
The Bio-Tax, already here Extortion-Care.
Pantheistic New-Age earth worship servers, such as giving (im)proper names to weather fronts.
Too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, everything is due to global warming. If you want to make a climate hysteric’s head explode, ask what evidence would disprove global warming?
This is Welfare money for false researchers.
Cold oceans cause drought, warm oceans cause heavy precipitation. It’s simple physics.
The eastern Pacific is presently cold. (La Nina)
The only question remaining is how many more trillions more can they scam out of hard-working, honest people to continue their Global Warming Jihad and line their crooked pockets and subsidize their lavish lifestyles before the jig is up and they get lynched?
Maybe it’s all that ‘hot air’ in CA? (not referring to ‘thermal’)
