| Rain in California leads to rising Folsom Lake |
| 2016-03-14 |
| After heavy rains in Dec 2015 and Jan and March 2016, Folsom Lake in Central California has reached levels allowing power generation. Not only that, but water is also being released for general flow. Lake Oroville as well as some smaller lakes are also rising quickly. |

| #8 When I was in High School (in the SF Bay Area) it rained for 4 years and they called in El Nino. Then I went to college and it was dry for 4 years and they called it la Nina. Then it went dry again for 4 years. Then it went wet again. Then dry again for 4 years. I'm not a rocket scientist (not a scientist at all) but I figured out the pattern. Now I'm wondering how they can turn 4 years of rain into the fault of climate change. |

| #3 One of the features of man-made global climate change. Last spring, North Texas broke a multi-year drought with the wettest spring in history, but then the cool, wet El Nino turned out to be warm and dry. |
