With global warming legislation stymied in Congress by coal and oil interests, environmentalists have looked to the states for measures to address the growing levels of carbon dioxide emissions that are trapping heat in Earth's atmosphere and causing changes in the climate. California, New Mexico and other Western states have begun to suffer longer droughts, rapidly melting snowpacks and other effects that scientists attribute to human-induced global warming.
Hey, they forgot the polar bears!
Slurp! What gets me is it is presented not as opinion, but as fact. And this is supposed to be a news article. Most people who live in the West know that droughts are cyclical.
“...California, New Mexico and other Western states have begun to suffer longer droughts,...”
Whadda bunch a bs as I slog my way to the corrals to feed the horses, and donkey. The only droughts we suffer are man made, LEFTIST MADE. Were it NOT for the environmentalist crybaby freaks living off taxpayer grants screwing everything up we’d have water everywhere we need it, as well the energy to pump it.
WHY & how they are allowed to push these lies on us should be investigated as a crime against humanity
In February 2009, Nobel Laureate and Energy Secretary Steven Chu pontificated without evidence that California farms would dry up and blow away, inasmuch as 90 percent of the annual Sierra snowpack would disappear.
Yet long-term studies of the central Sierra snowpack show average snow levels unchanged over the last 90 years.
Many California farms are drying up -- but from government's, not nature's, irrigation cutoffs.
