Too often, we’re asking the wrong question about atmospheric rivers and climate change.
It’s understandable as Californians are bracing for the next system, watching footage of the Pajaro River levee break, wondering what fails next.
It’s not just Californians, either. Our atmospheric rivers don’t always stop at the Sierras. They can plow across the rest of the country, dumping more rain and snow when conditions are right, like they were earlier this week in the Northeast.
This year’s storms have seemed worse than many people remember, and the data back that up: This winter we’ve set new records for snowpack, rainfall intensity, snowfall. Weather is erratic and memories can be skewed, but clearly something is different. It’s natural to ask, “Is climate change causing all this?”
But the right question is, “How is climate change affecting all this?”

Straw man/woman/thingy.
We aren't asking that idiotic question at all.
...more shit talk.
Couldn’t possibly be normal historical cycles happening at all. Nope, Only Climutt Chains. There is no history, only the now. Nothing has existed prior to what has just happened.
The hill is awful. Enemy in weak disguise.
I used to think that rain was a good thing...ya know to sustain life on earth and stuff.
Wasn’t CA praying for rain until recently?
Looks like NOAH is cloud seeding just off the coast of California.
Her last name is an automatic tip off to how her brain is wired.
I'm old enough to remember Newsweak warning us of the coming new ice age (c.1975).
This is the new meme: ordinary high precip winters are part of the Climate Change cult because they qualify as the high intensity events that the hoaxers babble about.
If you start with the assumption that climate change is real, then any season that doesn’t conform to the hypothesis is “high intensity anomalous behavior”.
See how that works? Even when objective empirical data proves your theory wrong, you have a get out of jail card that uses that data to confirm your “theory”!
Cook trick. Too bad real science and engineering doesn’t get to do that. Airplanes and rockets built on BS don’t fly.
These terms (atmospheric river, being one of them) are
tossed out to influence people’s perceptions. Last week
we were told there was another atmospheric river coming.
OooOooOoo...
Then the storm came and although it did rain for a period
of time, it wasn’t a monsoon, at least here where I am.
They want to panic people. It works.
This is not a new phenomenon. It’s merely a title someone
thought up to make it sound worse.
They’ve now got graphics to depict what an atmospheric
river looks like. I’m sure some people cower on the
couch. “Did you see that Emily? How will we ever survive?”
I’m so over these lunatics.
‘member that one time that the drought was caused by global warming? That was awesome
In southern California, in a large area 60 to 70 miles east of Los Angeles, and just south of the San Bernardino mountain range, there are numerous places with clear evidence of the effects of atmospheric rivers dumping tons of water on California, long ago and long before the human “industrial age”, with thousands of acres covered in “river rock” strewn landscapes.
We used to walk through those landscapes when I grew up there. Some places were so covered in river rock you walked only on rocks, no soil, unless you lifted the rocks up and removed them. You can’t see most of them now. They’ve been paved over and re-landscaped for the mass of housing and retail developments built since the early 1960s.
It was clear that whole rivers of water once ran openly from the San Bernardino Mountains down to the Santa Anna River (which today is but a trickle of stream). Maybe the Santa Anna will be true river again and maybe in our lifetimes.

So anyone going fly-fishing, take note and check atmospheric river conditions.
Kaitlyn is a propaganda hack for climate propaganda NGO. Pure horse puckey.
Is Atmospheric River a new name for Jet Stream? I don’t recall hearing that term until recently.
All I can say is: summer’s too short!
