You mean articles claiming heavy rain “filling” reservoirs fixing the drought while ignoring the continuing lack of water in the aquifers the state depends on?

CA doesn’t need a storm. It needs consistent and ongoing rain and heavy snowpack every year for years.
Pretending that CA isn’t in a drought because a few reservoirs got filled is stupid, and encourages the climate change denier narratives of “all the evidence of climate change is fake because magical fairy weather cycles mean god will save all of us who ignored basic science and statistics enough”
- refurb 4y agoDrought is about rainfall, not about aquifers. California almost always has drought conditions every year. But just like all weather, its not consistent year over year. Some years are drier some wetter. It’s a semi-arid climate. Talking about drought in California is like talking about snow in Canada.
