The Manufactured Drought

California is in the third or fourth year of a drought. It is not the first one. There was one in the early ’90s that lasted about the same length of time.

Restrictions were placed on watering lawns, washing cars and so forth, but that was before Climate Change had been invented, so people took it in stride and, in time, the rains came again.

This year’s drought drew national attention when governor Jerry Brown called for a 25 percent reduction statewide in water use. Alas, the drought is unevenly distributed. On the north coast, rainfall is close to normal and there is enough water stored not only for this year, but also for another year or two. Where there is not enough water storage—and it is aggravating the effects of the drought—is the state’s great Central Valley.

There has not been a new reservoir built as part of the statewide system in 35 years, thanks to the organized opposition of environmental zealots who claim that dams prevent salmon and trout from spawning. That is a diversionary argument. No dams means a reduction in economic activity such as agriculture. This is a goal the environmental zealots pursue non-stop.


These facts have escaped chin-stroking media pundits in comfortable perches in New York and Washington who have been proclaiming that agriculture has been exempted from the 25 percent usage cut and that’s not fair. A little research would have told them that since 2009 the government has diverted 300 million gallons of water from agriculture in order to make the world safe for a two-inch fish, the Delta smelt.

The Natural Resources Defense Council had filed a lawsuit using the Endangered Species Act to accomplish this feat. A federal judge ruled in its favor. Since then, nearly half-a-million acres of crops have been abandoned due to lack of water. Several thousand jobs have been lost along with them.

Hell, what do people need water for? Just to drink? And keep crops from dying? What about those poor little smelts? Better known as sardines? Do you not have a heart?

 

[skookerasbil]

This is freaky............FF related to the drought??

 

[Pogo]

So..... you're saying.... the environmentalist argument is all a diversion for the real goal, which is to subvert the economy...

Tell me have you ever had a brain scan? You know, to see if there's anything actually in there?

Conspriacy nutballs.... SMFH

"The Manufactured Drought"

This thread belongs in the CT forum.

The OP belongs in a mental institution.

 

[Care4all]

So we kill the Salmon Industry there, to save the veggie industry there is the solution?

I think it's time for the genius scientific minds out there to come up with a better and less expensive way to desalinate the ocean water....

I thought we were being told that thousands of species were going extinct daily because o global warming. Why is the Delta Smelt so special?

 

[Mr. H.]

Hydraulic fracturing in California amounts to .0004% of that state's water usage, but Liberals would like you to think it's much more- by a factor of 10,000.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Yep, we can then split the desalinated water between feeding our population and watering the fish. Then we don't have to worry about droughts anymore.

Because there are so few of them and so many just like you. So what makes you so special?

he has thumbs?

 

[Moonglow]

Anyone know of a good rain dancer?

 

[Crick]

No. I think the western US is screwed. The San Joaquin is going to dry up and blow away. US food prices will skyrocket. Yet our denier friends here will continue to tell us that spending money to fend off AGW is a complete waste.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Keep cranking that ethanol out until there is no more water,,, cant afford to stop because the fraud would be totally exposed when air quality improved without it.

 

[Crick]

Are you suggesting that the drought is caused by the production of ethanol?

 

[Old Rocks]

Naw, he is probably protesting the ethanol he doesn't have at the moment.
