California is being pummeled by heavy rains and snow fall that are flooding land and blocking roads.
This is ironic as a change of pace from three years of drought, but it’s also consistent with higher variation in climatic patterns (due to global warming) and heavier impacts due to the intensity of human impact on the environment — we have paved and settled in more places, reducing Nature’s drainage area and increasing the probability that humans will feel adverse impacts.
Bottom Line: When things start to break, they break in many places.
