When your entire industry funding depends on you producing data that supports the climate grift orthodoxy, you produce data that supports the climate grift orthodoxy, even if it means claiming that King County is in drought mode at the very time that much of the county was submerged under flood water…
Some Excerpts from Cliff Mass substack:
“Northwest drought is being exaggerated by a group including publicly funded agencies, the media, local government, and climate activists.”
“The center of what might be called the Drought Exaggeration Industry is the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, which is associated with the United States Department of Agriculture and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration“
“…consider the latest drought map for Washington State (released yesterday, and shown below).
“Most of Washington State is "abnormally dry" or in drought, with severe or extreme drought over the eastern slopes of the Cascades and the far portion of the state (see below). ”
“It states that 1,778,920 King County residents, many of whom are dealing with flooded roads, failing levees, and sodden fields, are affected by drought.”
