Folks, this so called drought in the CA central Valley is PURELY MAN MADE.

Remember this : the Central Valley farmers is that had water taken from them by a federal judge, who put a baitfish ahead of human beings.

Central Valley’s water-management system was designed to deal with droughts that last as long as five years, but the reservoirs that held its lifeblood got emptied into the ocean to rescue the Delta smelt.

Isn’t southern California a desert naturally?

California's system of aqueducts and storage tanks was designed ...to take advantage of rain and mountain runoff from wet years and store it for use in dry years...."California's forefathers built a system (of aqueducts and storage facilities) designed to withstand five years of drought," said Nunes.

...

Environmental special interests managed to dismantle the system by diverting water meant for farms to...saving delta smelt... [and] the flushing of 3 million acre-feet of water originally slated for the Central Valley into the ocean over the past five years.

Well, it’s a naturally arid region; years of drought have always been natural.

I heard a climate scientist on the radio the other day, I came on in the middle, so I didn't get his name. He was blaming the drought in California and the cold winter we have been having on global warming. He also said (I kid you not), he said that we can expect either harsh or mild winters from here on in.
