climate change

Alex Hall for Los Angeles Times — How California’s storms are projected to become more extreme with climate change

“Definitely climate change has made every single weather event different from how it used to be, a little bit,” said UCLA climate scientist Alex Hall for LA Times.

“Wherever there is precipitation, it’s probably getting juiced a little bit by the air being warmer and holding more moisture,” Hall said. “And as the climate continues to warm and as warming probably accelerates, the signal will become larger.”
