So california gets the drought CO2 since it is more densely heavy with industrial CO2 and what Texas has flood CO2 cause they have more open area? how does CO2 know what it's role is supposed to be over what state? Please enlighten the class with your vast knowledge of synthesized CO2.Have you ever been to Texas and/or southern California? BTW, since SoCal's population density is much higher, the amount of CO2 being produced by the power industry would be higher per square mile as well. This was all only in response to C Frank's specious "flood casting CO2" comment.

Ashoka: What is the biggest misconception about the extended drought in California and why is this problematic?
Andy Lipkis: The biggest misconception is that it doesn’t rain in California. The fact is, it does rain, even in Los Angeles and southern California. But we throw away most of that water because rather than collect it, we let it drain into the sea.
A report Wednesday said there is a 52 percent chance that water levels at the lake will fall below 1,075 feet elevation by 2020. If that happens, it could trigger the first-ever federal shortage declaration on the Colorado River, a reservoir that supplies water to 40 million people. As of Wednesday, water levels stood at 1,078 feet.
The receding shore line of Lake Mead, Nev., is seen in 2014. Wednesday, a report predicted the lake would dip to levels in 2020 that could trigger the first ever federal shortage declaration on the Colorado River.
Colorado River users are hoping regional efforts to conserve water pay off and leave enough of their unused supplies in the lake to stave off a shortage declaration. "Every single human being is a water user," Jennifer Pitt, Colorado River program director for the National Audubon Society, told the Arizona Republic. "The prospect of a continued drought without that policy in place really puts all of us at risk."
The report came as Arizona managers and stakeholders try and finalize a drought-contingency plan. Arizona, which would be one of the first states hit with cutbacks, could lose about half its Colorado River water if a shortage is declared. Lake Mead, formed during the Great Depression by the blocking of the Colorado River with Hoover Dam, has endured droughts before. In 2016, the lake dropped 10 feet in three months, and held an average depth of 1,084 feet.

Ya should tell yer demoloser political teams to capture water when it rains so it doesn’t go to the ocean and raise sea levels.We got a creek dat's always got plenty o' water...

AUG. 16, 2018 -- Nevada's Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the West, could fall below a critical threshold in just two years if a new forecast by the Bureau of Reclamation is correct.
