Not even barely. The 1930s were far worse.
Here's the temperature part of it all by decade:
It's always something! If it's not too cold, it's too hot. If it's not raining enough, it's raining too much. Maybe if I forfeit the rest of my earnings to the government, they will make it all better for me.
Americans should say a prayer to the almighty to restore and replinish our land.
<< 2 Chronicles 7:14 >>
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Just think of all the irrigation infrastructure we could have built with $5 TRILLION dollars
updated the electrical grid too
and fixed ALL the roads and bridges
During Obozo’s stimulus spending I was traveling on a stretch of road in Colorado in the middle of nowhere. Houses were 5 miles apart. The road was perfectrly fine for 20 miles or so, and then suddenly there was an “Obama simuloous dollars at work” sign
This was followed by a 1 and a half foot drop in the pavement that nearly kiled me and dumped all my stuff out of the back of my truck, followed by 2 miles of newly (and poorly) constructed road, followed by 20 more miles of perfectly fine road.
So they were literally hiring one company to dig a hole and another company to fill it in.
Now THAT’s some goood gubmint!
The Houston area if finally getting some good rain. Last year was a disaster for us. I have 2 huge water oaks that are dying because of last years drought. We had water rationing last year so I could not water them. This years rain is too late for them. Our beautiful park in the middle of town, Memorial Park, was decimated last year.
“now farmers want to be allowed to use a banned rat poison. So why is all of this happening?”
Well the mouse plague might have been caused by the ban just saying.
The drought of 1995-1996 was worse. Any FReepers recall starving or food shortages then?
Right now, there is a huge wheat supply, and record high world grain supplies.
It’s called ‘weather’ and ‘farming’.
“75% of grocery store products use corn as a key ingredient”
The day food died.
Yet another moron and his interweb “research”.
In Eastern Colorado the fields are brown, except for the very few that have been watered via well water. Corn is only knee high in most fields.
Just a part of God’s judgement upon this country for rejecting Him. Much worse to come.
yeah rocko denied our petition for disaster assistance in our drought last year so F the midwest.
With regard to the map shown above, I live in Boise ID. The map shows Boise area to be “abnormally dry”. Actually, Boise is 2 1/2 inches of precip above normal so far this year, and was exactly on average for annual precip. in 2011.
Not unlikely, but I must have missed the explanation for that statement in the article...
Meanwhile, in East Tennessee we are having monsoon like rains. I would guess at least 6-8 “ in the last two weeks.
Every afternoon, the thunder rolls and drops a deluge lasting half an hour.
Sometime in the night it happens all over.
The nearly dried up fields of tobacco are showing new life and springing from the ground. The brown grass is green and lush and in need of mowing.
Don’t worry. Obama is delegating control of the United States water resources to the United Nations. The rest of the world will step up and share their water with us.
Isn't it obvious. It's the fault of the Koch brothers.
In Australia it's possible for kids to first learn about "rain" when they go to school.
Ah! Yes! AGW....the concensus:
