A group of more than 100 scientists and experts say in a new report that California faces the risk of a massive "superstorm" that could flood a quarter of the state's homes and cause $300 billion to $400 billion in damage. Researchers point out that the potential scale of destruction in this storm scenario is four or five times the amount of damage that could be wrought by a major earthquake.If you don't want to read the panting and gasping at the link, I'll synopsize. The global warming which Sarah Palin is causing might bring about massive floods, just like the ones that happen every 300 or so years. We'll know these floods will have been caused by global warming (unlike the previous 6) because scientists writing in peer-reviewed journals said so.

Scientists Say We're All Screwed
Batten down the hatches!
Soon this could be the view from behind the wheel in a Winnebago driving through the Sierra Mountains.
No, no, no, they aren't saying we are *all* screwed; they're just saying that *Californians* are *probably* screwed.
ReplyDeleteWhich appears to be true enough. Although not entirely because of the reasons they give in the article.
Don't worry, I'm sure their computer models have something in store for you, too.

Oh, there is a doom predicted for us: warmer, a bit more rain, and a longer growing season.
ReplyDeleteWhich will MAKE THE POISON IVY GROW BETTER OH MY GOD WE'RE ALL DOOOOOOMED!
No, seriously, that is the doom that was predicted for us in Michigan. Terrifying, isn't it? Just shows that no matter what happens, somebody will find a way to twist it around so that the change looks bad.
Tim, I stand guilty on that charge, too.
