1200 Years???!!!???
What, did they pick that number out of a hat???
Or perhaps there is a written record of the drought 1200 years ago????
Or perhaps, like everything else the democommunists publish, this is just another made up number, designed to scare the population that have voluntarily chosen to live in a desert?

All you need to do is find living trees over 1200 years old and count back the rings. The rings give a fairly accurate record of rainfall that year.

And, yes, their are juniper trees more than 2000 years old out west.

Of course, proving that puny little man caused climate change is a whole different matter.
