What everybody knows about global warming is that sea level will rise. (What will that do to aircraft altimeters? Will Mt. Everest be shorter?) What most people haven't quite figured out is that global warming is changing weather patterns. We are seeing water where we don't expect it and not where we do.

Inland ...Toby, sea level rise is a coastal problem. Inland regions have their own flooding problems but that's not driven by sea level rise. <br /><br />Powerful changes - a warmer, more humid atmosphere; changes to the jet stream circulation; atmospheric rivers all point to a broken hydrological cycle globally. What most don't understand is that the gentle hydrological cycle of the Holocene facilitated agriculture to the level needed to grow our numbers from 1-billion around 1814 to today's 7.5 billion. Imagine a sevenfold+ increase in just two centuries.

Okanagan Lake has risen so much that an old paddle wheel boat is now floating. <br /><br />https://www.castanet.net/news/Penticton/197390/the-ss-sicamous-is-floating<br /><br />When we look at various floods across Canada we find some people stating that they have never had flooding as long as they lived there. Lakes, rivers, streams and water tables are rising to levels people have not seen. <br /><br />The Okanagan has a semi arid climate yet local plumbers are doing a booming business installing sump pumps.
