Barack Obama and other prominent figures have repeatedly cited the drought as evidence of climate change.

Why, that would make them idiots - no?

Oh, the usual suspects are caterwauling about this report. They just can’t let it go.

"Rain Follows The Plough" ~ was one of those false beliefs that encouraged many Americans and Europeans to spread out as fast as possible in the Great Plains in the 1800s.

Then, when the predictable drought hit, they all scurried back East, or died where they'd plunked themselves down.

The big drought cycle is roughly 80 years long from beginning to end ~ the beginning is drought, the end is drought, and the middle sees rain sufficient to grow bountiful crops.

The big cycle affects both North America and East Asia ~ and to a degree Central and West Asia.

This cycle is clearly driven by the Sun.

There are smaller droughts of less duration in between!

The dry periods in the Great drought cycle can be longer than normal. That's the sort of thing that led the Tang dynasty to EVACUATE Northern China!

Spain gave up on developing Virginia in the midst of a dry spell that lasted from what seems to be about 1560 to 1611. There had undoubtedly been an earlier part to that drought since DeSoto and his men were able to navigate the Southland without being bothered by trees! It was like a huge sea of dirt interspersed with grasslands.

For the most part few humans live long enough to witness 2 or more parts of the great drought cycle ~ which is why you have people like Obama imagining that the current dry spell is unusual.

II Chronicles 7:12-22

12 Then the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. 13 When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. 16 For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. 17 As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments, 18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.’

19 “But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them, 20 then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

21 “And as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and this house?’ 22 Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this calamity on them.’”

This is what climate change is all about:

Edward Holyoke, an amateur astronomer and meteorologist who kept detailed weather records for 80 years, wrote on June 7 [1816]: “exceeding[ly] cold. Ground frozen hard, and squalls of snow through the day. Icicles 12 inches long in the shade at noon day.”

Weather recorded by Thomas Jefferson:

The government drought continues on the Rockies. Just think...fire bans, recreational firing of firearms outlawed, air filled with smoke, sandstorms soon, etc.

In the 1880s there was a drought so severe in and around Sherman Texas that my ancestors moved from Texas to Purcell, Indian Territory to escape it. The American Red Cross had just been founded and it was their first relief effort. I learned that reading a book about their second relief effort which was the Johnstown Flood.

Facts won’t stop the green movement. It’s about free markets; not pollution. Like every other leftist cause, like gay rights, big labor, abortion and gun control, it’s only about punishing their enemies and gaining political power. Will the public ever get it?

It never matters if a leftist is right or wrong. All they need to do is show concern and that is all that matters. So Obama showed concern, whether that concern was true of false, matters not. And believe or not, that is exactly how the leftist mental retards think. Or more precisely, how they do not think.
