Arctic sea ice loss of the magnitude expected in the next few decades could impact California's rainfall and exacerbate future droughts, according to new research led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists.
It's believed that with the decrease in sea ice will have a great impact on western part of the world. With less ice there will be less precipitation, which will lead to droughts and dry soil. The California region is already prone to wild fires and droughts and it's expected to get worse. As they project that the Arctic Sea Ice will be completely gone in the next decade or so. Leaving the West Coast dry with more severe drought and less precipitation.
