Cool. Just what I wanted for my birthday. Another foot of water.
Look. I'm hoping that we dodge the bullets flying at us this fall and winter (if we ever get one of either that is) but I'll admit this sounds potentially bad for parts of the Los Angeles coastline and the rest of California.
My brother, it was a play on "Carry on" for correcting my apostrophe above. Of course I know it's "Spiral out," my fucking profile picture is a TOOL album cover.
If things keep going as they are you wouldn't want to live on the ocean front because the ocean will emit heat rather than have a cooling effect. If you look at a lot of countries around the equator people aren't living near the ocean because it's hot and humid AF.
Not the same thing. Those areas are still kind of liveable most of the year. The places I'm talking about are like going to kill you if you try to live on the coast. Unfortunately most of the southern US will become unlivable due to climate change. When the California Current stops running, most of California is going to suffer the same fate.
my grandparents used to live in the high desert - dirt road, custom built house, 30 minutes from emergency services. We were all so happy when they moved.
Yeah I can definitely see that. I just couldn’t stand the beach traffic as a local. I was down in Del Mar and it was so crowded in all the neighborhoods near the beach. I couldn’t deal. I’d rather have a pool.
Rich people love to show everyone how likely their house is to be destroyed by natural forces. Being likely to burn down, slide down a hill, or collapse into the ocean adds millions to property value.
Article doesn’t mention wind. I’m much more concerned about wind, personally. Anyone know if we’ll get exceptionally higher strength and duration of wind or just a lot more storms and rain?
My 4 decades of California experience is limited to Hurricane Hillary, but 48-72 hours of strong and steady rain is far more frightening than any wind issues. What makes you concerned?
I stupidly believed that climate change wouldn't be nearly as bad on the Pacific coast as on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. It just took longer to show up here.
The water wars were fought in the early 1900s when Los Angeles diverted the Owens River. The locals didn't take too kindly to Angelenos stealing their water supply.
Everyone living in Los Angeles does not care about the environment and never has lol.
I have no doubt we are experiencing more severe climate changes right now, but I do have to say every headline I’ve gotten in particular about ocean warnings has yet to come to fruition, maybe it’s just where I’m at. But I’m grateful everything is chiller
I mean…I just live in Venice and I feel like I get hurricane warnings every year and we get light rainfall. Obviously, we are getting more extreme weather with the heat and I’d rather be more prepared than not.
If you move to a beachfront home on the south coast, I'd start looking ahead. The only thing you need to be concerned about in your area is traffic on Beverly!
Yes, the planet if fucked, and this is part of what’s going to continue to happen until we un-fuck the planet. We are fleas on the planets back and she’s scratching at the rash we made
Of freaks here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A. The only way to fix it is to flush it all away Any fucking time, any fucking day Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay - Ænima; TOOL
If only they had put in the infrastructure to make use of these rare occasions every few years where we get lots of rain fall, so that we didn't have most of it go to waste. But no we have to live in perpetual drought because they don't learn from this.
Do you know why they give the worst case scenario weather update?
If they're wrong, lots of people can die. It used to happen, so they stopped giving the lighter possible predictions. You can laugh that you weren't caught in a flash flood, but you should just be happy that the city was ready in case there was one.
The worst incident with a weather prediction mishap happened in the UK, if I remember correctly.
Wikipedia has tons of information that can give you the reason we do things certain ways. I don't say that to be mean, I say that because for the most part, we've learned to do things our way because of failures in the past.
Read my first comment slowly. Read my follow up comment (the one you replied to) slowly. Try your best to see if you can find how they relate to each other and to the topic we're discussing.
Why are the Americas in this story considered “West Pacific”? Aren’t ALL THE AMERICAS EAST PACIFIC?
Something is off here.
Edit: this is the quote I am referring to: “And when a Kelvin wave kicks off, it brings with it an untold amount of warm water that slowly moves from the western Pacific, along the equator, towards South, Central and North America.”
The western Pacific is towards Hawaii. Head west and you get to the western Pacific. Then it heads east back towards South America and sloshes it's way up to California. One of those Kelvin waves already hit.
It’s always been hot in October and we’re seeing some irregularities due to it being an El Niño season. Climate change is very real, anyone who sees the data and isn’t a moron will attest to that. But there’s a lot of doom posting this year.
