Western ‘Megadrought’ Is the Worst in 1,200 Years
Scientific AmericanAPR 2022
This has the unmistakable fingerprints of climate change. It's extreme, epic and historic. Expect the future to be a wild ride -- we may even see Southern Califorrnia suffer regular heat waves in winter.
There's real climate alarmism here. Only 1/5 of the current megadrought can be attributed to human-caused climate change. Analysis referenced in the report shows there's been five other major droughts since 800 AD, so this is mostly natural variation. Unfortunately, climate panic brings paywall clicks for science journals.
