So I think it is fair to say that the warning lights are flashing--in California, and also beyond. This extreme El Niño event will have widespread global impacts. We've never seen an event this big before in the context of our rapidly warming climate. Expect some surprises.

No, you can't say it's just sport. Everything is political.
