NASA scientists used tree rings to understand past droughts and climate models incorporating soil moisture data to estimate future drought risk in the 21st century.

What this needs is to be sent to Ted Cruz asking him what this has to do with the mission of NASA... and ask that about 75% of the current staff, mostly the ones that are putting out this propaganda, be FIRED.
Fortunately Ted Cruz now has some power over NASA and says he will work to force them back on mission.
California history is replete with mega droughts. It is the norm.
Personally cannot wait for LA to become uninhabitable beause they can’t get enough water. they will waste all their money on hispeed trains, transgender surgery, and burning man.
Budget season is upon us, and everyone has to get in on the catastrope game, or risk getting lost in the apocolypse parade.
If California becomes uninhabitable, they will leave. Does anyone really want that?
Maybe from the same guy who predicted the 2 feet of snow for NYC a few weeks back.
Gee...howz come he didnt predict the current drought?
Seems a bit ex post facto.
Just a bit.
IOWs the weather patterns of the last 25,000 years will continue for the time being.
NASA must be taking a little time off from Barry’s assignment to them of trying to get the Muzzies to like themselves.
Just lower California. It’s being artificially kept alive to the detriment of other areas of the southwest and above because of the stupid water wars.
Brown could save them by building desalination plants, and also employ a lot of people. Instead they waste bilions on illegals and on a magic train.

Gee, I wonder how long desert/drought conditions have existed in California?
And once the PC @sswholes start projecting DROUGHT, you know its going to start raining like crazy - just watch.
Report Downplays Role of Global Warming in California DroughtThe new study, conducted by Columbia University for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), concludes that "natural oceanic and atmospheric patterns are the primary drivers behind California's ongoing drought," according to a NOAA press release. Human-induced climate change, on the other hand, was not found to be a significant factor, concludes the report.
Now I know where Western New York and Eastern Massachusetts can ship their snow.
We were studying tree rings (Dendrochronology) back in the 60’s in Archaeology classes. They show doughts and heavy rainfall. Perhaps NASA should read a few of the research papers and books on the subject and save the taxpayers a shitload of money. Perhaps!!
Thanks for posting.
Glad to do it.
I'm going to go with he was using tree rings when what he needed was ...................more cow bell.
LOL
