Climate Change? Nahhh ...

I am calling bullshit again. Plenty of this rainwater is being captured.
Historic rain in Los Angeles leads to billions of gallons of rainwater collected

 

. . . at least not BYU.

 

That’s how I feel about TV stories where farmers discuss how the current conditions are hurting them. I have never seen a farmer happy with the weather.

 

Call bullshit all you want.

It won’t make a difference long term if there’s less than 12 inches or less of rain the rest of the year. Last year's atmospheric rivers didn't end the drought, did they?

How many billions of gallons does SoCal use in one week? But I'm glad there's enough water captured "for 500,000 people for one year," in a county of 10 million.

That sounds like a storage issue as much as a weather issue. Hasn't California declined several proposals to build new reservoirs or expand existing ones over the past couple of decades?

 

Yeah, there was...several different sources were posting running totals for UCLA and for Lytle Creek as well. It's real.

 

"A storage issue." What a takeaway. Worthy of spin by a cable TV talking head trying to push a narrative.

It's their fault they can't capture enough water when they get their entire year's worth of rain in three days. ShOuLdA bUiLt MoRe DaMs! StUpId CaLiFoRnIa LiBs!

 

If your definition of drought is "a county is listed as being in a drought condition" then yes, last year's rains did just that.

Links for 12 inches in 24 hours? Something besides that bullshit tweet?
