Are you saying there's not enough evidence to associate the wack storm that prefaced this with climate change?
The Bay area NEVER gets rain for like almost, 8 months of the year. This was a freak event.
- umvi 6y agoI'm just saying there was a lot of mourning and saying "the redwoods are gone". When people responded "you don't get to be a 1000+ year old tree without being able to survive fires" the response was "yeah but that was before climate change. These trees are likely gone forever now because climate change combined with fire suppression is causing super fires that burn much hotter"
- nitrogen 6y agoI grew up in a place where people would talk about "that one storm in '62" (year made up) or even further back, either from direct experience or retelling an older generation's story. Given the bay area's high flux of people in and out, how many people have lived there long enough for generational knowledge of the weather 50 or 100 years ago to exist?
