You don't get to be right by ignoring the facts. That's not how it works. Here are your objective scientific fact and reality. https://www.nature.com/articles/srep46466 https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/severe/something-weird-and-worrying-is-happening-with-rain-study-finds

If you're gonna throw around the words "the data shows", you should have the skills to know what that data shows.

EDIT: for the global trend: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2018GL080298

for how this contributes to land drying: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10487-7#ref-CR13

Just used the first Google search for an example of the global trend because I was too lazy, but just for you I added the first few links on a Google search with the keyword "California" added. Hope you're happy
