Wondering if the rain for Burning Man was a harbinger?
Burning Man is held on a playa, a dried LAKE bed. They’re just lucky it was only a half inch of rain. If the surrounding area had gotten 4” of rain, they all would have been turned into an interesting find for archeologists in the future.
Typical of the event. Hundreds of bikes recovered each time. Maybe some vehicle recovery this time as well. Guess huge ruts in the playa is part of “leave no trace” now?
“interesting find for archeologists in the future.”
Yup—they would probably conclude the tech artifacts like cell phones were proof of ancient aliens.

When I was transferred to Reno for a few years I did a lot of hiking in Black Rock Desert, the amount of different rocks made of different minerals was staggering. Every color you could think of, textures, and minerals. Some of the rocks had a thin layer of limestone (inland sea) and some of the rocks were labeled as about 2 million years old and were right on the fault lines of eons ago. Considerable lava rocks too. And these retards don’t even ask where the playa comes from.
No, its a teachable moment about the presumptions, arrogance and willful blindness of America’s entertainment-addled elites.
Everything bad is due to Climate Change. That’s a fact, Jack.
For example, I cannot find my reading glasses. That’s because of Climate Change. I’m not sure what the connection is yet, so I’ve applied for a federal grant to study the problem.
I will report back once I have faked enough data.
Rain? It’s a desert. Duh!
No one should have to endure bad weather. If they do, it’s the fault of Conservatives.
This has nothing to do with the current conditions. Whether the snow melts or it falls as rain, both result in water. Also, the term "is expected" carries the same a priori clout as the word "may"...weasel words used by those who have no evidense.
...teachable moment to the Devil worshipers that mostly attended Burning [Christian] Man.
Of all the millions of storms that happened the last one is always caused by climate change.
My neighbor is a licensed beaver hunter and is allowed to set traps etc. He says the sound of rushing water drives a beaver crazy. That is why they build dams. Same with leftist - the changing weather drives them crazy.
The leftards are simply control freaks. The fact that the weather is randon and the climate constantly changes over time is an anathema to them. It drives them crazy, they have to control the weather or die trying!!!
It’s a teachable moment for 5 year olds.
There was rain someplace that usually has low rainfall.
Exactly. The teachable moment is not to waste a week of your life smoking weed camping in a barren playa.
These people are nucking futs. Its called the Southwest Monsoon Season. Its been happening since recorded history. Indeed, I would be more worried about climate change if the monsoon didn’t happen.
FYI: Gerlach, NV (the closest “town” to Burning Man) averages .27” of rain in September, most of which falls in the early part of the month. So-far this September, the area has received .22” of rain. If Burning man had been held a week earlier or this week, rain would not be an issue.
If the lesson they learned is “climate change” they didn’t learn a dam thing.
Yep. Nailed it.
Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai, an underwater volcano near Tonga, erupted on Jan. 14, 2022, releasing 50 million tons of water vapor into the Earth's atmosphere, along with ash and volcanic gases. This massive vapor injection increased the amount of moisture in the global stratosphere by about 5% and could trigger a cycle of stratospheric cooling and surface heating, which may persist for months to come.
