Trenberth is trying to blame a lightning storm in LA on carbon dioxide.
“On the West Coast,” Trenberth said, “you don’t have the complex vertical structure and wind shear typically associated with lightning storms.”

California’s historic drought, for example, has the potential to set up conditions for extreme weather. “With the drought, the contrast between the ocean and land is much greater than it otherwise would be,” said Trenberth. “It’s those contrasts that can help set up circulation and make the weather a little bit more vigorous than it otherwise would be.
