The article is so 70s. Dire predictions, catastrophic warnings from the same source as in the 70s - The New York Slimes.

It doesn't matter that none of the 1970s predictions came true. Doesn't matter that humanity did not end in the 80s as predicted. It's all about politics and getting control over America. Science was left at the curb long ago.

Once they can control energy, they can control anything.

We might be in a climate crash, but NOT BECAUSE OF CO2.

the issue is water and specifically, the olgallala aquifer.

Basically, this is a giant underground lake that lies underneath the great plains of the usa and it is being pumped dry to irrigate crops.

The level has dropped by about 180 feet over the last 40 years.

From Wiki:

The Ogallala Aquifer is a shallow water table aquifer located beneath the Great Plains in the United States. One of the world’s largest aquifers, it underlies an area of approximately 174,000 mi² (450,000 km²) in portions of eight states: (South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas).

...

The water-saturated thickness of the Ogallala Formation ranges from a few feet to more than 1000 feet (300 m) and is generally greater in the northern plains.[5

...

As of 2005, the total depletion since pre-development amounted to 253,000,000 acre feet (312 km3).[6] Some estimates indicate the remaining volume could be depleted as soon as 2028

The only response I can think of which is appropriate to this drivel is to shout, BULLSHIT!

Paulson is an embarrassment.

He should have been put in prison for his handling of the banking crisis and TARP.

I guess Goldman Sachs hasn't gotten all their money out of their idiotic global warming investments.
