I was actually looking for records of CA’s past droughts, and discovered that some halfway sensible person has snuck the following onto Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droughts_in_California
There are several mistakes in the article, but, it does make the resource mismanagement very apparent.
A hot mess these days.
Ya. And then the politicians are out of control. The cost of living is too high.
Good place to visit.
Over time I have seen and been to the whole state — all of the major cities from the north to south. I used to work for a company in Milpitas, have/had family in the Newport Beach area and Carlsbad. The wine country was nice.
I remember Monterey being beautiful. Nice rural area.
IOWs, long before the industrial age, the climate in CA was established as it is now.
“This is exactly what state-of-the-art climate models predicted should have happened, and what those models project to intensify in the future as global warming continues.”
That is a bald-faced lie, Noah Diffenbaugh. There are more than 20 climate models and not a single one has accurately predicted anything at all.
Physicist Howard Hayden's one-letter disproof of global warming claims [pre-Climategate]Dear Administrator Jackson:
I write in regard to the Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act, Proposed Rule, 74 Fed. Reg. 18,886 (Apr. 24, 2009), the so-called "Endangerment Finding."
It has been often said that the "science is settled" on the issue of CO2 and climate. Let me put this claim to rest with a simple one-letter proof that it is false.
The letter is s, the one that changes model into models. If the science were settled, there would be precisely one model, and it would be in agreement with measurements.
Alternatively, one may ask which one of the twenty-some models settled the science so that all the rest could be discarded along with the research funds that have kept those models alive.
We can take this further. Not a single climate model predicted the current cooling phase. If the science were settled, the model (singular) would have predicted it.
(excerpted from Professor Hayden's letter to Lisa P. Jackson, Administrator Environmental Protection Agency. More at link.)
It is global warming. This is the inter-glacial period of an ice age. This inter-glacial period began about 14,000 years ago and is, obviously, warmer than the glacial period phase of an ice age. Human beings have had less effect on the climate we are experiencing than a butterfly’s wing flapping has on a hurricane.
Yeah, and a Stanford “scientist” back in 2015 said that this was the best research he’d seen in regards to the CA drought being caused by climate change:
So much for that theory...shaking my head...

Gee, I wonder how long desert/drought conditions have existed in California?
