Don’t Blame Climate Change for the California Drought

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the Progressive Socialist Democrat Party has now assumed the cloak of nuevo -witch-doctorism as a means of “explaining” and pretending like they can affect the weather (Climiatism) in order to control the ignorant peasantry. This is nothing more than reversion to ancient tribal practices of aboriginal peoples.

When I moved to the Central San Joaquin Valley in 1986’ we were in a seven year drought. Of course we were headed for a new ice age back then and the delta smelt was a minnow which swam thru the water pumps in the Delta. Today, after cutting OFF the water from the Delta to save a fish that would have been bait years ago, we are left to pray for rain, which our betters capture and divert away from us. We can’t win for losing.

And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: Leviticus 26:19

Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
1 Corinthians 10:11

I just checked the snow conditions in the resorts in mountains.
Most of resorts are over 70” of snow and March is usually when we get dumped on.
Copper Mtn got 34” in the last week.
Wolf Creek has over 100” of snow.

Legalizing gay marriage did it. Seriously, check the dates.

We’ll be looking into it. Translation: THE FOREIGNER REGIME will check all angles on how to EXPLOIT the lack of rain to promote the AGW/CO2 political scam.

In the summer of 2012 the Michigan fruit crops were pretty much wiped out by drought

Fwiw, I think the 2012 fruit crop was actually ruined by an unseasonable warming in March (I have pictures of people on the beach in bathing suits during that time) and normal frosts in April.

So true indeed. Couldn’t agree more. I used to do indoor gardening with supplemental CO2 and it is a marvelous thing. CO2 will make plants grow extra large. We need more CO2, not less.

Well, we up here in Washington State have plenty of fresh, pure, crystal clear water that we would be willing to part with.

During previous drought episodes in CA, several solutions have been considered, including towing icebergs down from the Arctic.

Californians would rather save some endangered species of fish than divert much needed water to drought stricken farmers so you can’t feel too sorry for them. Elections have consequences. Another brilliant move by the EPA putting animals over people.

Grow vegetables on your home places in other states.

Think of Klamath Falls when thinking of water diversion.

And, 426cuda, do you have one? One of my old work buddies has an all original ‘70 hemi cuda. Black. Awesome. I think he bought it new.(?)

[426cuda]

Thanks for the link. No, unfortunately I don’t have one but it is my absolute dream car. If I ever strike it rich that would be my first purchase. Your old work buddy is extremely fortunate. I am a muscle car fanatic so that is usually what I choose as an avatar. When posting on Ann Coulter’s website I was mach1 after the awesome Mach 1 mustang.
