A record low amount of drought occurred in the United States in 2017, but that didn’t stop climate alarmists from blaming 2018 California wildfires on global warming. Yes, even though California state officials determined Pacific Gas & Electric power lines were to blame. So if global warming was a major factor in the 2018 wildfires, is global warming due praise for the record lack of drought in 2017? And what is the state of drought in California and the United States today?
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports
good news for Americans and bad news for climate alarmists. As the late
summer/early autumn drought season kicks in, the entire state of California is free of drought.
A couple small areas of southern California are experiencing minor dry
conditions that do not rise to the level of drought. The rest of the
state is experiencing normal or wetter than normal conditions. Did
global warming suddenly stop?
It’s not just California, by the way. NOAA also reports the United States just experienced its most abundant rainfall in any recorded 12-month period. And examining extreme drought versus merely regularly drought, this spring marked the smallest portion of the country experiencing drought in nearly two decades. So 2017 brought the smallest amount of drought ever recorded, and mid-2018 through mid-2019 brought the most abundant rainfall on record. But when faulty PG&E power lines sparked wildfires during the middle of this abundant rainfall, alarmists say global warming is causing drought which causes or exacerbates wildfires.
It is for reasons like this that alarmists lack credibility with the American people….
