Klimawandel gibt es tatsächlich?
Einige Straßen in und aus dem Death Valley Nationalpark wurden gesperrt, nachdem sie am Wochenende von Schlamm und Geröll überschwemmt wurden. Autofahrer wurden auch aufgefordert, das Mojave National Preserve in Südkalifornien zu meiden, nachdem die Überschwemmungen auf einigen Straßen die Fahrbahndecke aufgeweicht hatten. Wegen des Regens wurden auch andernorts Autobahnen und Campingplätze gesperrt. Das berichtet die Las Vegas Sun in diesem Beitrag.
