[There is a clear climate signature in the disaster in Santa Barbara. We know that climate change is making California’s extreme rainfall events more frequent. We know it’s worsening our fires. We know that it contributed substantially to the latest drought.]

Um, no we don’t. Always bolster your so-called argument with a false narrative to begin with. The left’s stock in trade.

Looks like a 12 year old, acts like a 12 year old. See the correlation there?

There have been wildfires and mudslides in California every year for as long as I can remember, and that is decades. If the wildfires are getting more frequent, maybe it is because arson or carelessness have become more frequent.

The climate changed in the back yard of the dinosaurs who used to live in the tropical rainforests of the Gunnison valley too.

This morning they were still frozen, and still dead.

Last month, we endured the largest wildfire in California history.

In history? So you KNOW what wildfires took place in California's past 200, 500, 10,000 years?

Who believes these idiots?

We know that climate change is making California’s extreme rainfall events more frequent. We know it’s worsening our fires. We know that it contributed substantially to the latest drought.

Crop harvests this year have been at all time highs. Lines at grocery stores are long due to food shortages...

“We know that climate change is making California’s extreme rainfall events more frequent.” — LIE
“We know it’s worsening our fires.” — LIE
“We know that it contributed substantially to the latest drought.” — LIE

We know NONE of these things. Merely saying it doesn’t make it so.

“I have researched climate change policy for over a decade now.” — LOL. She is a know-nothing assistant professor of political science, the lamest of lame disciplines. She “researched climate change policy” which qualifies her for zilch.

What a steaming pantload.

Proof from the past that California had no weather anomalies until GLO-BULL WARMING in the 1990s.

Oh wait!

Political Science? No wonder she's such a climate expert.

Unlike some other California global warming alarmist cities, I wonder if Santa Barbara has warned potential investors about (politically correct) global warming problems?
Big Oil throws California’s climate change hypocrisy back in its face

....and there were once dinosaurs and more recently the Anasazi vanished from the AZ. desert...or droughts in Africa or other parts of our planet....these are all unstoppable weather patterns for eons, even now; the ebb and flow of life.

Here in S.E. Michigan, when I got up early this morning the temperature was 51 degrees and raining. During the course of the morning, the temperature dropped, the rain froze on my driveway and street and it is now 23 degrees and snowing...........

Was going to go out for a while but those are the perfect conditions for creating accidents on the highways

That was one of the most pathetic things I have seen published, even in the New York Times...and that is saying a lot.

"...That we were somehow insulated. I didn’t expect to see it in my own backyard so soon..."

Gee, whiz. Never had a fire she saw. Never had rain she saw. Never had a drought she saw. From her CV: "Hons. B.Sc., Department of Psychology and Department of East Asian Studies, University of Toronto 2007", so I am guessing that will make her...what...32 years old?

Boy, if she lives another 100 or 200 years, she is going to see some things that are going to blow her mind...Mt. Rainier could erupt...there could be a 9.4 quake in California, we could be hit by large asteroid, there could be a huge epidemic of some kind we haven't foreseen...

But hey. She's 32 years old, liberal with a degree in East Asian Studies and Psychology...she has seen it all.
