Record-breaking King Tides in California and the context of sea level rise. Plus: El Niño cometh?—Climate scientist Daniel Swain livestream Jan. 7, 2026
Climate scientist Daniel Swain discusses the significant flooding event around the Bay Area this last weekend here. Where king tides, a *relatively* normal winter storm, and sea level rise coincided to give a glimpse of the future of what life along the Bay is going to look like. It was eye-opening to witness for anybody in the region. Especially just how much major expensive infrastructure is extraordinarily vulnerable. San Francisco Airport, the 101 Freeway, Moffett Field, Google, Meta, etc.
