A group of more than 100 scientists and experts say in a new report that California faces the risk of a massive "superstorm" that could flood a quarter of the state's homes and cause $300 billion to $400 billion in damage. Researchers point out that the potential scale of destruction in this storm scenario is four or five times the amount of damage that could be wrought by a major earthquake.If you don't want to read the panting and gasping at the link, I'll synopsize. The global warming which Sarah Palin is causing might bring about massive floods, just like the ones that happen every 300 or so years. We'll know these floods will have been caused by global warming (unlike the previous 6) because scientists writing in peer-reviewed journals said so.
