...which Jerry Brown to my memory gave back in the 70s during his first terms as jerk.
I’ve read a few stories about that. This is basically, and obviously, a man-made crisis.
DENDROCHRONOLOGY (Tree rings)
Historical Review: Megadrought And Megadeath In 16th Century Mexico (Hemorrhagic Fever)
"The epidemic of cocoliztli from 1545 to 1548 killed an estimated 5 million to 15 million people, or up to 80% of the native population of Mexico (Figure 1). In absolute and relative terms the 1545 epidemic was one of the worst demographic catastrophes in human history, approaching even the Black Death of bubonic plague, which killed approximately 25 million in western Europe from 1347 to 1351 or about 50% of the regional population.
"The cocoliztli epidemic from 1576 to 1578 cocoliztli epidemic killed an additional 2 to 2.5 million people, or about 50% of the remaining native population."

Tree rings get really narrow around 1200 years ago: https://travellingwithana.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/9-rings-of-history-close-up.jpg
I was born in California and have lived here all of my life. I remember the drought of 1976. I remember putting a brick in the toilet tank. The water reservoir levels were as low or lower than they are now. The population of California was lower then than now. Who invited millions of illegals to move into California? I am trying to remember who was governor of California in 1976. Does anybody out there remember who was governor of California in 1976? Why isn’t Arizona suffering from this drought like California is? Hmmmm?
That was probably still Jerry Brown.
