Flooding at Yellowstone National Park sweeps away a bridge and washes out roads
NPR Online NewsMAY 2022
Yellowstone's flooding was caused by a super-soaking atmospheric river that began in the American Northwest, catastrophic rainfall, and melting snowpack. However, the real culprit is climate change, which intensifies what should be normal weather events into disasters.
It's easy to dismiss any extreme weather event as a consequence of climate change, but in reality they're usually influenced by a myriad of factors that have nothing to do with it. More research is needed before we can establish any direct causal link between the two.
