In 2012, California fell into the grip of a severe drought that lasted four years. After being told that the drought in America’s largest state was nail-in-the-coffin proof that the ever-elusive climate collapse ‘tipping point’ had finally arrived, children across the globe awakened to nightmares of environmental apocalypse.

Acting in league with fellow globalists, the media establishment -- the press release arm of the climate fear industry -- relentlessly trumpeted dire warnings that unless U.S. voters immediately acquiesced to stiff new taxes on carbon energy, California’s lakes and rivers would likely dry up forever.

Yes, the California drought was unusually harsh… for modern times. But what media is that studies of tree rings, sediment and other natural evidence have documented multiple extreme droughts in California over the last 1,000+ years, including several that lasted more than 20 years. That’s five times longer than the relatively puny four-year drought of 2012-15.

One that began around the year 850 A.D. droned on for a mind-numbing 240 years, more than a thousand years before the climate fear industry invented itself in the 1980s.

The drought of 850 wasn’t unique. Fifty years before it began, another mega-drought, one that lasted 180 years, was just winding down.

The part of the planet now called California has been hit by countless extreme droughts since time immemorial, 100% of which eventually came to an end.

To do its part at helping globalism inch toward its single-minded goal of world governance, the media establishment ran a relentless barrage of “scientists say” stories that led horrified American children to believe that unless their country immediately implemented stratospheric new carbon taxes, California’s ‘tipping point’ drought would usher in planetary demise, and with it, their futures.

Act now, U.S. voters were warned, or the Golden State’s diverse vegetation could be permanently wiped out. But despite the cacophonous roar of anthropogenic climate hysteria, no fossil fuel taxes were enacted. Much to the dismay of a bitterly disappointed climate fear industry, the California drought hit a brick wall in 2016, when plentiful rainfall returned.

Raining here again in NorCal.

Means Squaw Valley will end up north of 65’ of snow this season. Haven’t checked in a couple of days but that’s approaching 200% of average.

Same thing happened 2016-2017.

And yet the Rat Party operatives organized the “children’s walkout” at the local schools with no embarrassment. They actually walked out on one of a few sunny days in between storms and had the gall to wail about impending drought doom.

All utter BS.

For most people, history is what they have lived. They are now living a different history.

California would not have severe droughts if they did 2 things.

1- Build more dams/reservoirs
2- Shut down the Aquaduct

[Mastador1]

No, California would still have severe droughts in sections of the state, it’s just California’s climate and that hasn’t changed. What you are addressing is water shortages in over populated sections of the state. Nothing that that happened over the last few years is new, we have always had periods of drought followed by periods of excessive rains.

Concur, which is why the need for more reservoirs. The LA Aqueduct takes the majority of watershed from the Sierra Nevadas and diverts it to the Los Angeles basin.

nature. the sun, and volcanos more powerful than anythings humans can do. The arrogance of the fear mongers to think they can control the climate. What caused warming and cooling before the industrial revolution?

fighting environmental extremist to bring more water to soCal something the governors have not thought important. No new reservoirs in the north. Carlsbad in its third year of successful operation need a doazen more.

:: the fear mongers to think they can control the climate ::

Weather is controlled by the climate. The fear mongers are actually saying that we can control weather. Note how all dire claims of “climate change” involve localized weather.

Same snake oil derived from “higher” technology.

any lie in a storm

“The LA Aqueduct takes the majority of watershed from the Sierra Nevadas and diverts it to the Los Angeles basin. “

And it will take more and more now that AZ has taken much of the water to which it was entitled to by law from the Colorado River, but didn’t for years, leaving it for SoCal. Also, SoCal has been restricted by court cases it lost regarding the amounts of water it can take from the Owens River.

[Mastador1]

No argument about reservoirs, and I would add desalination plants to that. But instead of common sense investments for California we got Moonbeams train from nowhere anyone wants to be to nowhere anyone wants to go boondoggle. Well actually it was just major payoffs to crooks.

[rjsimmon]

Oooh, I forgot about desalinization plants. Great addition! Imagine how many could have been built in lieu of the Rail to Nowhere?
