Somehow....this Global Warming Alarmist is going to use this as an excuse to “bring in more illegal aliens...and fire Americans”

I see it happening

California farms are in more danger from California Government that from GloBULL Warming!!

Al Gore got a Nobel prize too. Big deal. Pay attention to what is actually happening in the climate instead of what your agenda driven, Al Gore inspired cronies are pushing. An ice age is a lot more likely. That will reduce agricultural output, but for a very different reason. The sun is still devoid of sunspots...as it has been for most of 2008.

California has more immediate problems, like they are as bankrupt as the banks. This will drive people out of the state to find work and reduce their carbon foot print.

How embarrassing to see a scientist degrade himself for political expediency...

And so it begins ....

Serves them right. Cal. wines are overpriced.

Endless HOGWASH!!!

There's a reason they call those pointy impact thingys on freeway turn-offs "gorepoints!" They're for idiots like this that have no way to judge which way to turn!!!

IF Chu is correct, Pelosi’s vineyard in toast!

Why does that make me smile?

Let California return to nature, especially in the south, a desert. No more importing of water.

[Greysard]

Millions of years ago this planet was hot and moist, and guess what plants did back then? They grew like crazy. That's what plants do when it's warm.

In a worst case, Chu said, up to 90% of the Sierra snowpack could disappear, all but eliminating a natural storage system for water vital to agriculture.

The water does not disappear. If the snow pack evaporates then rains start. Furthermore, warm oceans will evaporate more water than they do today, so if, as a mental exercise, we assume this "global warming" to be true then we'd only return to the old Earth that was so good for millions of species.

could vanish by the end of the century

It becomes a popular theme these days - promise doom but at some far, far future. This way you need to pay now, but you can't hold anyone responsible if the fraud is revealed.

“..a scenario where there's no more agriculture in California”

There's also the possibility
a) California slides in the Pacific(no California at all)
b) America's a smouldering heap of ashes from Atomic warfare
c) Yellowstone's Calderon explodes,America's a smouldering heap of ashes
d) Asteroid hitting earth
e) Jesus Coming
f) Or freezing our (wal) nuts off because of Global Cooling.
g) none of the above and life continues....

I'm betting on the latter....

This is a constant and natural process. Once upon a time there were orange groves in Georgia. Climate change, cooling as it were, caused the citrus zone to move gradually into southern Florida since the 1800s.

“The H with those farms! Lett’m buy their food at the store, like everyone else!”

Time to get modern; after all, it is the Century Of The Moon Bat!
