Leah C. Stokes is an assistant professor of political science at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
[There is a clear climate signature in the disaster in Santa Barbara. We know that climate change is making Californias extreme rainfall events more frequent. We know its 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?
“assistant professor of political science at the University of California, Santa Barbara.”
AKA assistant thought director.
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.
That guy might be a nice looking young fella if he got a haircut.
Professor? What is she, twelve?
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.
In history? So you KNOW what wildfires took place in California's past 200, 500, 10,000 years?
Who believes these idiots?
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 Californias extreme rainfall events more frequent.” — LIE
“We know its 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.
Everybody knows it never rains in California. Celebrate it.
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.
Let’s cure climate change and stick purely to drought..
Big Oil throws Californias 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.
Was going to go out for a while but those are the perfect conditions for creating accidents on the highways
"...That we were somehow insulated. I didnt 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.
