WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU A LOT ABOUT STRANGE WEATHER EVENTS,
ALMOST AS IF SOMEONE OR A WHOLE SET OF FOLKS PREDICTED THIS.
MAYBE A WHOLE CATEGORY OF PROFESSION CALLED SCIENTISTS.
NOW WE HAVE WHAT IS BEING CALLED AN ATMOSPHERIC RIVER.
WHAT IN THE WORLD?
IT IS A 5000 MILE BELTS OF STORMS.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO THE PLANET?
OH MY GOD WHAT IF WE DONE?
THIS
IS NOT THE FIRST TIME WE HAD HAD THIS, THERE WAS ONE BACK IN
2009.
IS NOT A SIGN OF GOOD THINGS TO COME IF WE START TO HAVE
THESE MORE FREQUENTLY AND MORE INTENSELY.
THIS IS PICKING UP MOMENTUM.
YES, CLIMATE CHANGE MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
YES THEY TOLD YOU THAT WARM AIR WOULD PICK UP MOISTURE FROM
THE OCEAN AND IT WOULD CREATE BIGGER STORMS.
HOW IS A 5000 MILES STORM FOR YOU?
ANOTHER THING THEY
DISCOVERED IS THE BIG DARK BECAUSE FOR 5000 MILES THERE'S
NOTHING THE CLOUDS IN THAT BELT.
IT IS HEADED IN OUR DIRECTION.
IT HAS ALREADY HIT THE STATE OF WASHINGTON.
IT'S NOT LIKE THE
STATE OF WASHINGTON ISN'T ALREADY WET.
IT IS KNOWN IN AMERICA AS THE WETTEST AREA IN AMERICA, IT
RAINS ALL THE TIME.
WE JUST BROKE A RECORD IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON FOR
PRECIPITATION.
I WONDER IF THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON HERE.
MORE FROM THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON.
WHILE THEY SEEM NON-NEUTRAL,
BUT NOT A LOT OF TALK OF
CLIMATE CHANGE.
AND I CAN SEE IT WITH MY OWN EYES, THE SCIENTISTS
PREDICTED THAT WE WOULD HAVE MASSIVE STORMS.
NOW WE HAVE 5000 MILES OF STORMS, THE BIG DARK.
YOU ARE IN CLIMATE CHANGE RIGHT NOW.
NOT ONE STORM OR WEATHER PATTERN ñ
OVERALL WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MACRO PICTURE AND YOU SEE THE
INTENSITY OF THESE STORMS, IT IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS PREDICTED.
IN FACT IT IS COMING QUICKER, HEAVIER, AND MUCH MORE
INTENSE THAN SCIENTISTS EXPECTED.
