Diogenes When we humans (unwisely) warm the planet at a rate of speed unprecedented in human history, extreme shifts in climate occur. These changes are not "magical." They're a natural consequence of the profound disruption we're causing in our Earth's natural cycles.Scientists have been warning us for decades about the dangers of continuing to burn fossil fuels and pump greenhouse gases into our atmosphere and, if we we'd been wise enough to listen to them, we could have averted the dire consequences that we're already experiencing. If we choose to wake up now and respond, there's still hope that we can prevent the collapse of our civilization. We can choose to be healers or deniers. For now, it's still up to us. From 2015: "A warming climate coupled with more intense El Niño and La Niña events could cause twice as many droughts and three times as many floods in California by 2080, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature Communications.The findings come while California suffers its most severe drought in recorded history, a four-year disaster that has caused an estimated $2.2 billion in economic loss from 2013-14 alone.  At the same time, heavy rainfall––which triggered mudslides last week in Southern California––is anticipated through the winter from a strong El Niño event predicted by many climate forecasters."<a href="https://insideclimatenews.org/news/23102015/california-faces-future-drought-alternating-floods-el-nino" target="_blank">https://insideclimatenews.org/news/23102015/california-faces-future-drought-alternating-floods-el-nino</a>/
