It's going from worse to worst each week in California.
Suffering in its third year of drought, more than 58 percent of the state is currently in "exceptional drought" stage, according to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor map. That marks a huge jump from just seven days ago, when about 36 percent of the state was categorized that way.
Exceptional drought, the most extreme category, indicates widespread crop and pasture losses and shortages of water in reservoirs, streams and wells.
If the state continues on this path, there may have to be thoughts about moving people out, said Lynn Wilson, academic chair at Kaplan University and who serves on the climate change delegation in the United Nations.

And these are the people who seem to think of themselves as more environmentally enlightened than everyone else?
Nothing like a little Alta California revanchism. Even if all they’re getting “back” is a withered neo-desert.
But hey, keep bringing rabbit-breeding immigrants in
Sheer genius
Instead of spending billions on new rail systems, spend it on desalinization plants and pipes. That is, unless the intention was to use the new rails to permanently transport people out.
Another trail of tears coming?
Send the illegals back home first.
Kinda hard when the “new rails” are only supposed to go between LA and SF.
Eventually the rabid liberalism will hit on the true solution to their problem of allowing no-good, non-working illegals, liberal leeches and ne’er-do-wells to remain whilst simultaneously removing the problem of dealing with those pesky capitalists.
They will find some way to expatriate those pesky capitalist Americans out of state while taking all their money in the process. Count on it. An exit tax.
Move to Mexico.
Maybe the intention is, in order to best use a crisis, is to get people to move out, make way for the new electorate to move in, and *THEN* build desalination plants.
How about we build a dam or two. Just a thought.
Uh oh. There goes some members of my lib in-laws, ho ho ho! Forced emigration. Hope they round up the houses through eminent domain.
Maybe you should "migrate" them back to Mexico.
Moving to Montana soon, gonna be a dental floss tycoon.
That coming from the UN rep on climate change. Give me a break.
and in 6 months they could be complaining about too much rain
Mexifornia was once the model state in the nation...yes, it is true. Lived here all my life and watched it go from that, to the destroyed, liberal dung heap that it is today. All over about a 40 year time span.
The LIBS that run the state refuse to build adequate water storage capacity because the enviro-whackos that pump money into RAT campaign coffers do not want it...so we go dry easily now.
Mexifornia / operated and destroyed by DemoRats.
How about we build a dam or two. Just a thought.
The surface evaporation and the lack of snow pack up north are turning them into mud pits.
Not to mention the need to dredge just to keep the generators turning.
The Deranged Left in California lives with this dichotomy in what’s left of their minds:
More Non-White People GOOD! (White people are intrinsically BAD, so gotta submerge them)
Humans BAD cuz they Hurt Mother Earth! (people - especially White people - are responsible for all bad things happening to Earth, so they have to be gotten rid of)
So the Left in California has concluded that one billion non-whites will be OK, because they won’t hurt Mama Earth.
A travesty. Easily the most beautiful state. Probably one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Destroyed.
The plan is probably round up a bunch of farmers whose land can’t be farmed because the gonernment has shut off their irrigation water and sent it to the ocean so the smelt will thrive. Send the farmers to Oklahoma like they did the Indians from the Southeast. Divide up the California drought stricken farmland among illegal immigrants into small farms, turn the water back on. Re-distribution and returning land to the indigenous tribes, a progressive wet dream. Only problem is the poor smelt.
