impacts if week, especially in northern california. is climate change playing a role, number one, in what we re seeing and will see in the next few days and out west in california and also when it comes to the increasing likelihood of this mega storm that you talk about in your study? we live in a warming world. so in that context, climate change effects essentially all weather events to some extent. the question is how and to what degree really. when it comes to extreme precipitation, we know that warming temperatures bring about an exponential increase in the water vapor holding capacity of the atmosphere. so that rises very quickly even for small amounts of warming. that raises the ceiling on how intense precipitation can become in a warming world. and so we probably have already seen about a 10 to 15% increase in that ceiling on how intense precipitation can become. so while we certainly have seen major storm sequences before we had a lot of climate change, we do believe that t
of these sorts of extreme events is increasing and that the climate change we have seen so far has probably doubled the likelihood of an extreme flood and storm sequence in california. so this really is an important consideration moving forward in a place that has seen at least recently more drought and water scarcity than flood to be circumspect and thinking about the other side of that hydrologic coin as well. that s a very important warning. the extreme flooding and infrastructure unable to handle this kind of extreme weather, what should local jurisdictions and states be doing to prepare for repeated scenarios like these? well, in the short term there is a limit to how much you can do in the days immediately before an event like this, although there certainly are local agencies putting their flood plans into place right now. i can tell you that much. in the long term, it s really thinking about how to co-manage
