Mel and the other volunteer contributors to @triblogblog publish smart, well-researched info that helps people in my town understand local issues. It's incredibly gross and uncool that someone tried to retaliate in this way.

With global warming of just 1.2°C, why has the weather gotten so extreme? » Yale Climate Connections

With global warming of just 1.2°C, why has the weather gotten so extreme? » Yale Climate Connections

Climate change increases extreme weather by adding more heat and moisture to the air and through disruption of fundamental atmospheric circulation patterns.

The U.S. Southeast has become a home to intense organizing and activism as residents deal with the effects of historic floods worsened by a warming climate. A tour de force by @caminunderland yaleclimateconnections.org/2…

As deadly flooding devastates more communities, often the poorest and most disinvested, residents are banding together to research the problems and press for solutions.

Part 3 of my series on California megafloods looks at a 2022 study by @Weather_West finding climate change has already doubled to tripled the risk of a megaflood costing ten of billions, or even a trillion. yaleclimateconnections.org/2…

Climate change is increasing the risk of a California megaflood » Yale Climate Connections

A 2022 study says climate change has already doubled the risk of a California megaflood. And an additional 1°C of global warming would double the odds again.

From my post today, bit.ly/3HcHCi8, worst-case inundation from a breach of the Whittier Narrows Dam near Los Angeles. According to the USACE, over 450,000 people downstream from the dam would be at risk from a breach, with a potential economic cost of over $6 billion.

Part 2 of a three-part series on California’s vulnerability to a megaflood looks at the vulnerability of the state's dams. Two of them are rated as the highest priority to fix, including one protecting 1.2 million people near Los Angeles. @Weather_West yaleclimateconnections.org/2…

If a megaflood strikes California, these dams might be at risk » Yale Climate Connections

The state’s highest-risk dams protect millions of people and tens of billions in property, including Disneyland and the Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach.
