Why does Jerry Brown say water shortage is from global warming??

Hitler was pretty much in line with today's republicans when it came to the hatred of labor unions, .

too stupid as always, HItler hated labour unions because they interfered with his absolute control of commerce. Conservatives hate them because they interfere with free markets.
 
Hitler was pretty much in line with today's republicans when it came to the hatred of labor unions, minorities, and intellectuals.

too stupid conservatives are intellectuals. they look at china and see how capitalism has a eliminated 40% of world poverty. Liberals look at it and conclude socialism is better.

Conservatives believe as our founders did in natural law. Liberals have no idea what natural law is, let alone why it is the basis for our government..

China's doing better because USA deindustrialized itself and sent the jobs there. If china were forced to pay high tariffs, China would still be a third world country. Conservatives don't worry about what the founders believed in. They worry about the bottom line, and if millions live in party, they say "so what, let the lazy bums get a job" even if there aren't any jobs.
 
The market's for the wealthy, not the little guy, as if republicans ever cared about the little guy anyway.

total brainless liberal. The Republican free market just saved another 60 million little guys from slowly starving to death in China under liberal economics!! Do you get everything backwards??
 
I got one, liberals believe in science, and you don't.

Brown uses science to conclude that drought is caused by global warming?
You use science to conclude that drought is caused by global warming after I have shown you major science on that subject?
Liberals look at Chinese capitalism after it has eliminated 40% of world poverty and conclude that socialism is better??

See why we say a liberal is anti-science??

I thought you said liberals were oh so slow. Now they're anti science. They don't even believe in the bible and that noah filled his ship with all the earths animals. Wonder how the rinos got along with the elephants?
 
Stealing? Taxation is stealing?

dear when they take 15% of your life time income and give you back 5% thats stealing. Capitalism makes all Americans rich but then the liberals steal most of the money.

It doesn't work out that way for everyone. It's like an insurance policy. Some collect longer in their time of need, some die before they collect anything. Even Paul Ryan used social security as a youngster. Now he hates it of course because he's a republican.
 
Here is part of the "more at the link."

"After twelve years of planning and over six years in the state’s permitting process, the Carlsbad Desalination Project has received final approvals from every required regulatory and permitting agency in the state, including the California Coastal Commission, State Lands Commission and Regional Water Quality Control Board."

18 years of state regulators and environmentalist protests and a much needed project will be finished.

You made a good point, and one wonders why the regulatory agencies took so long.

That said, think how different the world would if only G. W. Bush had needed regulators and protesters to sign off on his invasion of Iraq.
Saddam Hussein would likely have a nuclear arsenal by now and would probably rule most of the Middle East.

How so? Given the sanctions and no fly zone established by the UN, the Sunni - Shiite 1,500 year long conflict, Iran and Israel watching him closely, and an economy in ruin.
Read some history.

That's enigmatic, is it meant as an ad hominem, or have I misstated a fact?
Itr's merely a suggestion that you further your education regarding the matter. No ad hominem intended at all. Read some books.

Wry is a liberal so will make no sense whatsoever. After 22,000 posts he still cant say one intelligent thing in defense of liberalism. Ask him and he'll try to change the subject rather than confront and learn from his total ignorance.
So is that how this thread went from a water shortage in California to some dumbassed Democrat sucking on Saddam Hussein's dick?
 
dear if you have evidence I lied I will pay you $10,000. Bet?? This is legally binding yes or no question.
Do you deny you said there were no reservoirs built in the last 30 years, which would mean since 1985, because that is your easily proven lie. Now agree to leave when I prove it or STFU.
Well, when the total number of dams built by the State from 1989 to now, is TWO, Diamond Valley and Los Vaqueros with a combined storage capacity of a little over 1 million acre feet, it is easy to see how they could have missed those. Below is a list of the dams built over the years. The majority of the new ones built by municipalities are small, 200 acre feet or smaller. The overwhelming majority of dams being built are private ownership.
http://www.water.ca.gov/damsafety/docs/Jurisdictional2014.pdf
So now the liars are quibbling over size and number since they can no longer deny reservoirs were built in the last 30 years.

Diamond Valley Lake is a man-made offstream reservoir located near Hemet, California, United States. It is one of the largest reservoirs in Southern California and also one of the newest. With a capacity of 800,000 acre feet (990,000,000 m3), the lake nearly doubled the area’s surface water storage capacity and provides additional water supplies for drought, peak summer, and emergency needs.[2]

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California began the $1.9 billion construction project in 1995. Filling of the lake, by way of the Colorado River Aqueduct, began in 1999 and was completed in 2003.[3] The lake is currently served by the Inland Feeder.

The Los Vaqueros Reservoir was completed by the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) in 1998 to improve the quality of drinking water for its 550,000 customers in Central and Eastern Contra Costa County in Northern California. The name vaquero is Spanish and means "cowboy" in English. The reservoir is accessible via Vasco Road from Brentwood, California and Livermore, California. An expansion project begun in 2010 raised the height of the dam to increase storage capacity from 100,000 acre-ft to 160,000 acre-ft of water.

New Spicer Meadow Reservoir is a reservoir in Stanislaus National Forest in the Sierra Nevada, in Tuolumne County, near the Alpine County line, at an elevation of 6,621 feet (2,018 m). The 189,000 acre foot (233,000,000 m3) reservoir is formed by New Spicer Meadow Dam on Highland Creek, a tributary of the Stanislaus River. The 265-foot (81 m) tall dam is composed of rock-fill and was completed in 1989. Additional water is diverted from the North Fork of the Stanislaus River by the North Fork Diversion Dam and a two-mile (3 km) tunnel. Downstream from the dam, the water continues flowing in Highland Creek until it meets the North Fork of the Stanislaus River.

Calaveras County Water District owns the dam. Water from the reservoir supplies drinking water and water for recreation and irrigation. Also, along with the Northern California Power Agency, the water district sells electricity from the 5.5-MW hydroelectric plant at the base of the dam. They also operate the 253-MW Collierville Powerhouse on the North Fork of the Stanislaus River.

The Olivenhain Dam is a gravity dam near Escondido, California. The dam was constructed between 1998 and 2003 as part of San Diego's Emergency Storage Project with the primary purpose of water supply for municipal use. It does not sit on a river or stream but is supplied with water by a system of pumps and pipes. The dam is connected to Lake Hodges and the Second San Diego Aqueduct. It is constructed of roller-compacted concrete and is the first of its type in California.

Seven Oaks Reservoir is a reservoir on the Santa Ana River in San Bernardino County, California, about 8 miles (13 km) northeast of the city of Redlands. The reservoir is formed by Seven Oaks Dam, which was completed in 1999.

The United States Army Corps of Engineers built the zoned earth-and-rock-fill dam at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains to protect against flooding in the eastern portion of the Greater Los Angeles Area. Its maximum height is 550 feet (168 m) above the pre-existing streambed and 650 feet (198 m) above the lowest portion of the foundation. The reservoir is medium-sized at 147,970 acre feet (182,520,000 m3), though it is a bit large for a reservoir whose sole purpose is flood control, which means that water is released as soon as safely possible, while still slow enough to allow water to seep into the streambed, recharging the groundwater aquifer. Also, releases are coordinated with Prado Dam, which is 40 miles (60 km) downstream.


Ah, ok! Thank you very much.
 
there is no proof whatsoever yet he proclaims it with great confidence much like other liberals say "hands up don't shoot" and "Romney paid no taxes" with great confidence. The water shortage comes from a 60% increase in population in the last 30 years, no new reservoirs , and
letting 70% of rain water run off into the ocean.

Jerry Brown's lie seems especially egregious since, 1) it is a lie to absolve himself and liberals for responsibility for the shortage, and 2) it is a very dishonest way to promote global warming.

Really, the only response I feel you deserve is: Fuck you!

Governor Brown has been Governor for a little over four years, before he was elected CA had 24 years of Republican Governors and four years and 10 months of a Democratic Governor, since Brown last served as Governor.


George Deukmejian (R) 1983–1991 June 6, 1928
Pete Wilson (R) 1991–1999 August 23, 1933 (age 81)
Gray Davis (D) 1999–2003 December 26, 1942 (age 72)
Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) 2003–2011 July 30, 1947 (age 67)

All of CA troubles can be laid at the feet of the Republican Party and GOP Governors beginning with Deuklmejian. Davis inherited 16 years of tax cuts and a push by the minority in the St. Senate and Assembly to fill our prisons, build new prisons and cut the resources geared to divert or rehabilitate offenders from the system.

Today, low level substance abusers and petty criminals are in prison for 25 to life because they committed a violent felony years before, and committed a petty theft, due to the short sighted and very expensive three strikes law.

Probation and Parole had been cut to the bone, though under Gov. Brown and recent law changes, the Republican Minority has been symied in their efforts in the Legislature to prevent practical and cost effective policies. Today more resources have been provided to local law enforces to supervise offenders released early and divert juveniles from kiddie prison (CYA) and provide services to them and their family in the home community.

EB is stupid and ignorant and thus doesn't seem to know it.

All of what I wrote can be verified by a few Google searches, but the willfully and ignorant, and fools like EB, will continue to post lies and idiot-grams.

all of them?......every single one?.....the Democrats just ate their lunch all that time?....

No Harry, the Democrats attempted to pass legislation on a number of issues and were always thwarted by the minority party. As you know, the people of California got sick of their tactics an revised the CA Constitution to make one man, one vote count, as a democratic political system demands. No longer will the ideology of the few limit the progress of the pragmatic, at least in California. In Congress, well we're screwed.

I call BS.
"The state senate currently consists of 26 Democrats and 14 Republicans, and the Assembly consists of 52 Democrats and 28 Republicans. Except for the period from 1995 to 1996, the Assembly has been in Democratic hands since the 1970 election (even while the governor's office has gone back and forth between Republicans and Democrats). The Senate has been in Democratic hands continuously since 1970."

If Soc Sec was like an insurance policy the insurance company would not be able to raise the rates without losing customers.
 
Saddam Hussein would likely have a nuclear arsenal by now and would probably rule most of the Middle East.

How so? Given the sanctions and no fly zone established by the UN, the Sunni - Shiite 1,500 year long conflict, Iran and Israel watching him closely, and an economy in ruin.

Well aren't you a vulgar POS!

Q. How did we go from a water shortage in California to a sexually charged ad hominem?

A. Another gay curious sexually repressed asshole made the transition.

Discussion:

It seems gay curious conservatives allow their repression of their fantasy to cause them to their hate having these desires, and thus themselves, and must project this hate onto others.

It's clearly pathological and entirely the affliction of the arch conservative, those whose hate and fear - of themselves and what they may do, and of others, dominates their world view.

Yet SS is not like an insurance company - it is non profit. And yet, those of us who contributed to our retirement system experienced a rise in our monthly contribution over the years.
