The world is facing a looming global water crisis that threatens to "spiral out of control" as increased demand for water and the intensifying impacts of the climate crisis put huge pressure on water resources, a UN report has warned.
I’ll be honest, this is part of the reason I’m not moving back to California, despite missing the sunshine a lot. I figure as global warming intensifies, we’ll probably get California weather here in the PNW, but with more water.
That’s what I’ve been thinking for a while too. That California would basically turn into Mexico. However I’ve been surprised by the weather these past 5 years. Unseasonable and strange extreme weather has actually brought more moisture, not less. To the extreme other end of trouble with flooding and such. There is a tropical storm warning in San Diego right now. The first one ever.
Global temperature rise means all kinds of different things for local weather. We shouldn’t assume that we can take the weather we have now and just dial it up 12 degrees.
