I still support desalinization plants, and the state should try to herd localities to invest in them.
Israel is headed toward a large portion of their fresh water coming from the Mediterranean. If they can do it...
The author is an a$$hole.
Just send all of the fracking wastewater to California.
Two problems solved.
Yep, you live in a desert you get no dessert.
1. Climate changes. It happens, with or without human involvement.
2. California is a desert. The only reason it’s as green & fruitful as it is, is because much of the water supply of the surrounding states has been practically stolen, relocated to where sunlight & shipping make it a profitable combination. Eventually (A) too much demand on that water reduces the per-capita supply to unsustainable, and (B) climate change to any degree will literally evaporate what little water there is to unsustainable levels.
Go read/watch “Cadillac Desert”. A bit old, but an excellent documentary on the creation of the CA water system...and how tenuous its existence is.
Next year they will be crying about too much rain and mudslides.
According to historical sources I’ve seen, this is cyclic...in other words, normal.
CA is for all intents and purposes, a desert...but it hasn’t stopped the building permits for new single family homes from being approved.
Gotta keep that tax revenue rolling in.
In a “normal” El Nino weather pattern, the drenching rains we received in Seattle should have hit much further south in California.
We already get enough “fracking wastewater” from all the okies and dokies.
Stay where you are, and keep in-breeding unigovmedia squirrels.
Everyday we are having rain here. Already 100%.
Good glad to hear it.
“May” & “Never”
Two exceptionally precise ‘scientific’ terms!
Like “Monkeys MAY fly out of my butt.”
I’ve lived in CA all my (too long) and I’ve noticed that the difference in extra wet years is usually not the early rainfall amounts, it’s that the rain continues later, through March and April. Of course the climate scaremongers don’t want the drought to end.
The weather systems are purposely bypassing California for the reason that it’d be taxed out of existence.
NEVER! (hopefully!)
Most of California has always been a desert or semi-desert.
Get rid of all the illegals and their demands on the water supply and it will go back to normal.
The professor should just look at the geological history of the state.
Or you get your just deserts.
Sooner or later some LIBERAL from the bastion of Southern Calif LIBERALS will propose legislation to NO longer SHOWER or use water for cooking. /s
