California is drought-free for the first time in a quarter-century

After experiencing one of the wettest holiday seasons on record, still soggy California hit a major milestone this…

Did you know? Increasing the water vapour in the atmosphere by 7% with every degree of [regional] warming also increases the actual amount from each degree to the next one.

Might sound a no-brainer to you. But I found it enlightening when Daniel #Swain illustrates it in the new 50mins. documentary about #Climate extremes, (the one that also features Rockström, Rahmstorf and a few others). https://youtu.be/U8pLrRkqbb0?si=7RtX0_yqW7ed2M7c

Brand new 52min documentary on #ClimateTippingPoints with

The scientists speak a little into the camera, then the filmmaker either illustrates the spoken words with aerial nature scenes or with clear, animated graphics.
English with English subtitles. I like it!

Again, the 7%-water-rule comes up.
Eye opener: 7% at +1.5C is more water vapour than what 7% was at +1C. Same principle as in how the rich get richer faster.

Not answered: most land mass has more than +1C, Germany in summer can be +3C, places in the Adriatic sea +5C this August.
So do we apply the 7%-rule to the local deviation from the normal in order to express or to guage the water hunger of the air in this particular parcel?
And also, what happens when the wind drives one parcel away after it drank its fill from soil, plants, water bodies, and a new parcel comes in, heats up to the local deviation, drinks its fill, and moves. I mean, shouldn't the inner continents be all dried up by now?
Or maybe the act of evaporation cools the place enough for a new parcel that moves in, to be sufficiently shocked into raining down what it had sucked up elsewhere...hm.
Anyway. Good documentary!
