1000 years my a$$
That’s funny. Last I heard, Lavon’s dams had to be opened up cause the lake level was getting too high after the past weekend of rain.
I recently worked at the Hilton in Rockwall, haven’t been there since my Cav Ball in December. Last time, all the docks were sitting in a bunch of mud and dirt. This time? Fully floating and as above, dam opened.
Maybe we should learn how to write our articles to be factual, instead of making stupid claims that can’t be backed up. (Directed at the author, of course!) If this is the greatest water crisis in our history, why are the only people noticing the ones living farther west? And how is this more of a crisis than the early 1900s? Last I checked, CA produces a bit of vegetation, and a bunch of specialty stuff like avocados and almonds. It’s the middle of the country that produces the staples that people actually need to survive.
MAD MAX! Cali. style!
Seriously though, people in the SW, are going to have to do some serious soul searching.
Since leftists insist that human behavior and economic policies impact climate change, I have postulated the following theory that has been empirically proven true and as such is settled science:
Whereas, the left coast region — especially Oregon and Kalifornia — is experiencing massive drought conditions despite having an abundance of water known as the Pacific Ocean to its immediate west;
Whereas, these states have been dominated by loony leftist econazis for decades and have therefore adopted policies that mismanage water and dump millions of gallons of fresh water into the Pacific Ocean each year;
Whereas, Oklahoma and Texas have experienced above normal rainfall this winter and spring such that all major lakes which had become dangerously low are now overfilled above normal levels;
Whereas, Oklahoma and Texas have conservative government that protects the environment from polluters but also protects the economic and private property environment from ecofascists;
It is hereby resolved and irrefutably proven that leftist political and environmental policies harm the environment.
The above analysis is at least as scientifically sound — if not more so — as the anthropogenic/CO2 based climate change hysteria propagated by the likes of algore and Obama.
The supply of water never changes, it is constantly recycled and redistributed all by Mother Nature.
We, the human race, are not firing off millions of full water tankers into outer space, nor is Mother Nature.
Of all the so-called "greenhouse gases" the biggest player by far is water vapor.
The human body is made up of something like 97% water. When the body dies the water goes somewhere other than either heaven or hell. You know, "dust to dust."
About 75% of the earth's surface is covered by water. If AGW is causing a rise in the ocean levels, isn't that good? More ocean = more evaporation = more rain etc. etc. etc.
What frightens me most is when liberals finish redistributing our wealth and income they will have to satisfy their cravings by redistributing water.
When things get really bad people might come to the conclusion they should move to where the water is. Animals have done that naturally throughout recorded history.
End of vent
Deport all the illegals and the water crisis is solved.
Good thing we reversed all those water projects and stopped the new ones.
All those critters we were protecting can now deal with no water naturally.
The Delta Smelt is all anyone needs to know about the California drought.
Dumbasses.
California produce sucks; rock hard machine picked peaches, tomatoes etc. Maybe we will see other parts of the country start to grow produce again, at a higher quality.
***Thanks to the worst drought in more than 1,000 years,***
worse than the twenty five year drought that drove the Anazazi from their areas in the 11 and 1200s?

“Why would the Anasazi leave — potentially for good — pueblos it had taken them decades to construct? Scientists have found one possible answer by looking at tree rings (a study called dendrochronology) in the Sand Canyon area.
In the period between A.D. 1125 and 1180, very little rain fell in the region. After 1180, rainfall briefly returned to normal. From 1270 to 1274 there was another long drought, followed by another period of normal rainfall. In 1275, yet another drought began. This one lasted 14 years.”
California’s water problem is not surprising at all. The agriculture in the central valley used a steady amount of water. That has been known since the Central Valley Irrigation was completed in the 30s.
Once the moonbeams took over no new sources of storage were completely ignored while the population exploded in, what has always been, a desert. Aside from 2 dams in the past 20 years there’s been no development. The rivers were already dammed. And there are no salmon. OH WELL! So some fisherman can’t go fishing for salmon in Kerman. They have capacity but wasted it on good intentions. Hopefully this is a learning experience and California gets some conservative leaders (HAHAHA, I know I know, I’m a comedian.)
Once the rains come back, and they will, the mudslides will be spectacular. When the dams are filled they will drain them again, for the fish. And all the while we’re going to hear how the rains and high snow are all caused by global warming, I mean climate change.
This is how the Incas and Aztecs fell.
Stupid politicians were in charge at the wrong time.
I am sure they heard from people telling them to build more reservoirs.
millions of Americans may be forced to find somewhere else to live.
Where is the Prophet Elijah when you need him?
