As the world grapples with a second straight year of record hurricanes, floods and wildfires, a small but growing number of hedge funds, pension plans and other investors are looking to invest in climate change adaptation and response. While mitigation addresses the root causes, adaptation seeks to lower the risks from the severe consequences of climate change. And to learn more, visit https://ScottAmyx.com/.

It’s Raining Rivers

This is Scott Amyx with today’s Climate Change Flash Briefing. The recent atmospheric rivers or long, narrow regions in the atmosphere that carry concentrated water vapor dumped massive amounts of snow in the Sierra Mountains. Mammouth Mountain in the Sierras received more than 37 feet of snow since winter began. Start of 2019, California’s snowpack was at 67 percent. After the atmospheric rivers, the snowpack has risen to over 136 percent. This is good news for the drought-ridden state of California. In recent years, California has even tapped out its groundwater basins. The snowpack will provide California with much needed fresh water. But it isn’t all good news. Stay tuned next time.
