Newly released images created from NASA satellite data illustrate the staggering effect the California drought has had on groundwater supply in the state. As Mashable's Patrick Kulp explains, the images show the amount of water lost over the past 12 years, with different colors indicating severity over time. “Nobody has any idea how disastrous it’s going to be,” Mike Wade of California Farm Water Coalition told the Associated Press, as RT reports a growing number of communities in central and northern California could end up without water in 60 days due to the Golden state’s prolonged drought. While California is bearing the brunt, experts note "We're seeing it happening all over the world, in most of the major aquifers in the arid and semi-arid parts of the world."

California is currently experiencing the third year of one of the most severe short term droughts ever recorded. Data from U.S. Drought Monitor shows that as of Sept. 30, 82% of the state is facing extreme or exceptional drought conditions.

What comes after “red”?

Green again. It WILL rain again.

"I have no idea what t he resistance to desalinization is. There should have been dozens of desalinization plants years ago"

They're saying the salt discharge back into the ocean from the desalinization process would cause a micro-disaster for sea life in the discharge area due to the increased salinity.

I say if you have excess salt, call Morton.

You don’t see a flood of millions of illegal immigrants from Poland, Ireland and Italy because yes, they did stay and fight the corruption.

People also came from those and other countries who fought corruption and then fled for their lives. Others also stayed and fought for civilized government in their countries. Others came here for opportunity.

But they came legally. They submitted to the laws of America and obeyed them. Though some immigration periods were longer than others, they were all controlled by the government assessing the needs of the country, and not because the immigrants turned criminal and came in floods.

And yes, high percentages of those millions of Irish slaves were sent to America under prepaid indentured servant contracts, because they didn’t have money to eat, let alone pay for an ocean voyage.

Your questions are merely decontextualized factoids pretending depth, and your claimed points are puerile. In fact, you mock the suffering of millions of legal immigrants for purely racist reasons, in order to deny the financial catastrophe tens of millions of openly criminal illegal aliens have brought to this country - while ignoring the crushing stress these invaders have inflicted upon every aspect of our national social infrastructure. And in defense, you make no points nor arguments, but only offer only sneering quips concerning a subject that presents an true and obvious danger to this country.

And besides all of that, you support racism and economic slavery as viable political argument.

So really, what do you matter, lacking all integrity and honesty? You’re just another useful idiot for the totalitarian Left, completely convinced that your loyalty to them will ensure you a protected job, and quite willing to do whatever foulness necessary to get it.

In other words, you are a liberal. However Free Republic, as a matter of policy, does not support illegal immigration, or people who do so. So you’re on the wrong website. not to mention that you lost this discussion for lack of skill the moment you entered it.

I think that’s everything. Thanks for playing.

You are just changing the subject and trying to substitute personal insults from arguments. The fact remains your statement that your ancestors stayed to "fight the corruption" isn't true. They came here. Throwing up a list of random thoughts and insults isn't going to get you out of it. Just admit you were mistaken.

And FYI the system of indentured servitude ended in America after the War of Independence. There were Irish indentured servants before that, but few after. Most Irish immigrants came here in the 19th century.

I think that’s everything. Thanks for playing.

Run away if you want to.

Oh, I forgot to repeat the actually subject you’ve tried to detail the thread over: thirty million illegal alien criminal Mexican invaders.

Thirty million.

To hide that, you lied about the full history of millions of enslaved Irish, and denied my ancestors were a part of any extended family, country or people while repeating that I’m lying about the fact that my ancestors who came here... came here.

M’kay. Again, the actual subject is thirty million criminal invaders. Who you imply are justified in their criminal invasion and abandonment of their country because my family immigrated legally and became actual, legal Americans, along with millions of other legal immigrants.

And as I pointed out, you have a real problem with that legal thing. So much so that you never even mention it, even though it is literally the subject - times thirty million.

In addition to these parasites being seduced by government swag doled out under racist laws to ensure they vote Democrat.

Yet from you, more crickets.

Which is why, of course, you pound on fantasies of relevancy. After all, what’s your alternative? The truth?

You’re saying those thirty million criminals are the same as the previous millions of legal immigrants. That’s your big lie - you know, the one you won’t state openly because its so openly dishonest.

Like I said, you’re a liberal. Positions, tactics, thinking, motivation - all dishonest, all criminal, all secretive, implicatory and delivered from the teachings of Alinsky.

And incredibly, you actually think you’re invisible.

Well you’re not invisible. You’re insane.

There is a commercial running on the radio here that says half our water gets to wash to the ocean by environmentalists protecting stupid fish.
When they stop that and deport all the illegals I’ll think about conserving. Til then they can kiss it.
