'BradCast' 8/21/2023 (Hurricane Hilary: Climate fluke or future? With climate scientist Dr. Daniel Swain)
On today's 'BradCast':\xa0 Hurricane Hilary and post-Tropical Cyclone Hilary dealt a rain-and-flood bomb to the Southwestern U.S. this weekend. Hilary is the first tropical storm to hit Southern California since 1939, triggering extreme flooding and disruption across the region, most intensively in the mountains and deserts. Nevada is bracing for more impacts from the unusual storm. Climate scientist DR. DANIEL SWAIN of UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability explains what made Hilary so historic and unusual, and addresses the complex question of whether Hilary was a fluke or our future in our climate-changed world. Swain also explains the unusual formation of 4 or 5 new storms brewing in the Atlantic Ocean, and what it means for hurricane season on the East Coast. Also today: A grim update on the toll of the missing in the Maui Fires. Disgraced former President Donald Trump canceled the press conference that he promised would finally reveal his evidence of 'election fraud' in the 2020 Election, and his bail was set in the criminal charges against him in Fulton County, GA.
