Due to climate change, Nevada says goodbye to grass

Like the way Canada said goodbye to snow?

[LIConFem]

Due to climate change? Sounds like Nevada lawmakers are responsible.

[JennysCool]

Yet another article by a reporter who thinks Las Vegas is Nevada.

There’s a whole lot of state outside that city.

Please understand that this applies ONLY to kind of grass people mow.

Not a climate emergency, simply desert town growing exponentially in an area with inadequate water supplies. Said water supply, the Colorado River, being shared with numerous other cities.

Not climate change. Too many people moved there. Even having the same water supplies year after year will not be enough. Double the population, and only half as much water is available per person.

There’s never been a drought in the American West before?

These people are fools.

Southern California has a far worse drought in the 1860’s....no “fossil fuels” back then.

Land was ditched really cheap. I think that how the massive Irvine Ranch came into existence; one individual with foresight buying up the land.

Should never have tried to grow grass out there in the first place. Golf courses, sure ... but if I had a home out there, I certainly wouldn’t have a grass lawn. Way to much upkeep in that climate.

[Tennessee Nana]

But what about the Cartwrights cattle ???

[Sacajaweau]

Resources don't always sustain population growth.

All water sources need recharging and/or storage areas.

[silent majority rising]

Yes, but only in the summer in most places. Likewise, I live in the south and lose a lot of grass (and weeds) every summer. That Climate Change can be dramatic, and it does occur every single year.

Mormon morons living in the desert

With so many possible combinations and interpolations, while they have such a history of past lies and incompetent pronouncements, they still seek to scare the kiddies with a fresh, extreme scare phase.

[Tell It Right]

Who’da ever thunk there’d be a water shortage from millions of people moving into a desert state? LOL

[fieldmarshaldj]

"Living through the summer of '22 has made climate change harder to deny"

It's easy to deny something that doesn't exist.

[palmer]

irrigated lawns do well in dry climate. A lot less fungus and other disease. But the water use is much higher than just about anything else.

[butlerweave]

Too chicken to face real life blame it on Global Warming ,LOL

[Varda]

Las Vegas is a lousy place to have a couple million people. Actually anyplace in the desert. If infrastructure breaks everyone will die.
