A drastic swing between extreme drought and unprecedented flooding, dubbed “weather whiplash,” is becoming common in some regions.

laughable

It's called weather because it DOES change.

That was a good episode of NOVA.

By the way I had the pleasure in the engineering dept. of airing for broadcast the very first episode of NOVA when it premiered on PBS way back in May of 1975.

The days of 2 inch quadraplex VTR's:

I took care of a room full of these beasts.

You could buy three nice homes for the price of one of these machines.

The video head rotated at 14,400 rpm on air bearings for an effective head writing speed of about 1000" ips on two inch wide video tape.
