Climate change causes both droughts and flooding.

Last spring a group of scientists chained themselves to a Los Angeles bank in protest over the lack of action.

They weren’t scientists, what were they?

Because extreme drought through most of “recent” geologic time hasn’t been the norm at all in the western US

Well just up the road, Death Valley had record rain and floods.

In Florida, we have to water our grass or HOA will get ya. The thing is our grass sucks. At Augustine basically as weed. I suppose it looks good when it’s green completely but it’s difficult in 90+ degree days seven months out of the year. I hate the rock look some have gone too. But I hate me water bill. Such a dilemma. Lol.

Droughts are a natural phenomenon that have come and gone forever. The bad news is sometimes they last for centuries. It would be nice if these so-called experts would give that reality some thought.

[napscoordinator]

St. Augustine grass is the name. Stupid phone change it to at.

Roll out the Astro Turf ,LOL

We live in a new home in Vegas purchased in 2019 and there’s no grass. It’s a desert motif; sand, plants and rocks. No grass to water, no grass to mow. And that’s OK with me.

[DallasBiff]

Back in high school there was a legitimate local story about a boater who got struck by lightning. He survived, but the urban lore was that his “appendage” was blown off.

They weren’t scientists, what were they?

Haven't you heard?

Science = Not science

[coloradan]

It’s too bad that “journalists” won’t be the first to go extinct as a result of Global Climate Change.

[dforest]

Oh hell no, golf courses for the elites will be watered.
