From the mountains and desert of the West, now into an eighth consecutive dry year...

Uhhhh....no.

[Shanty Shaker]

This article is a bit lacking when it comes to facts.

[Mears]

No drought(or warming)here in Massachusetts.

I don’t believe this has anything to do with global warming as our former Vice (and I do mean VICE) prezidant Gore spews everytime he opens his mouth. Perhaps we have reached the end of God’s grace toward America?

[DaveMSmith]

Downright soggy here in Kansas.

[dandelion]

Here, in Central Texas, we had one of the wettest, coolest springs on record...

It's been raining cats and dogs and flooding in Oklahoma. The Irish should stick to potatoes and crystal and leave meteorology to the experts.

I am afraid MA has bigger problems than weather anomallies.........your senators......just like mine in WA.

Summary: We're all going to die!!!

[Iam1ru1-2]

This Irish Newspaper only reported what some scientist have perported to think is the reason for our weather changes. I doubt whether the newspaper’s reporters wrote this since it’s about America, not Great Britain.

[Mears]

Our legislature is worse. Today they voted NOT to allow the people to vote on gay marriage.

If I was younger I’d get the heck out of here.

[Iam1ru1-2]

"we're all going to die."

Hmmmmmm. Nothing new here. That's been happenin' since man first ate of that "Forbidden Fruit".

[MrEdd]

We're Doomed!

[cmet]

Well, we have a drought here in mid Mississippi. I am on the verge of selling my small cattle herd I have built up over the past 20 years. No rain no grass. Fortunately? I am 63, so I think I can make it with my simple lifestyle

[Mears]

Sorry you are having problems in Mississippi——we are in a cold, grey, damp period here in MA.

Good luck with your plans-—I’m 10 years older than you and it’s amazing how you can get by without a regular income.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Does this have a point?

Assuming the predictions of awful things to come are somewhat accurate, all we can do is adapt. We certainly can’t prevent them. IOW, life goes on and we keep plugging away.

Based on when I was born, I find it hard to get too worked up about 50 years from now.

[Iam1ru1-2]

WE'RE DOOMED!!!

Since when does “America” equal Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississipi, and California? In Colorado it’s been raining (or snowing) almost every afternoon. I have a creek in the back of the farm that I’ve never had before!
