America, Prepare For A Century Of Drought

Corn and wheat prices surged today. The immediate reason appeared to be the year-end USDA report, that showed supplies were lower than projected.

But concurrent with that report was the release of the Commerce Department's National Climate Assessment Development Advisory Committee National Climate Assessment survey.

One of the findings: we can expect up to a century of drought.

Here's a chart from the report projecting percent of the country in drought conditions in the coming years.

Commerce/NOAA

The red line is based on observed temperature and precipitation. The blue line is from the average of 19 different climate models. The gray lines in the background are individual results from over 70 different simulations from these models.

The projections are derived from the Palmer Drought Severity Index, one of the most widely used measure of drought, the report says.

"These results suggest an increasing probability of drought over this century throughout most of the U.S.," the committee says. "Droughts have become more frequent and intense in some regions, and confidence is that these trends are projected to continue."

We, as a nation have lost God’s protection. This is not the worst of it.

I can’t believe that anyone is stupid enough to believe anything these weather gurus predict.

Hell! They can predict weather accurately longer than 24 hours....and we are to believe them.

Experts: People who are paid to solve problems and come up with solutions.....and right or wrong....always do. They have never failed to come up with an answer because not to do so would tarnish their reputations and jeopardize their incomes.

"Wasn’t there an endless climate change induced drought in Australia just a few years ago?"

Best slow floater we have had in years.

---

Here in South Texas we call that a “turd floater.”

[blam]

Here in Mobile, we call them 'gully washers'.

And The Rainest City In The USA Is....

"Mobile, Ala., actually topped a new list of soggiest cities in the contiguous 48 states, with more than 5 feet of rainfall annually, according to a study conducted by San Francisco-based WeatherBill, Inc. "

I was wondering how the Fat Cats were going to enable Soros’ adecoagro ipo, farms in South America, to get investments.

Make a good book.

You can bet the globull warmer nuts will keep pulling out “model” graphs to back up their BS.

Same NOAA El Nino preditctions missed 2012 and now they want to claim 100 years???

That is a turd floater LOL

Thanks blam. Drought isn’t going to be a problem (this sounds like the AGW agitprop anyway) — cold, wet, too-long springs cause the problems that lead to famine, except in places which rely on the two-season (wet and dry) cycle, i.e., equatorial regions, and give or take being marginal (e.g. on the edge of the Sahara) to begin with.

Yea, I call ‘em turd floaters too, but in polite company one can substitute toad for turd!
Anyway, most rain I have ever had in one rain at this location in 24 hours!

The problem with heavy rain is most of it washes away.
Flooding causes erosion and other troubles that don’t benefit the land, but at least the lakes get full.

I like the long slow soaker.
We just got a bit more this morning.

Running out of beer isn’t a drought....it’s a catastrophe!
