Calif. Drought:Environmentalists turned off the water. Not climate change as Obama s

[RoadVirus]

You are all so gifted and wise. Please explain the brilliant Republican Teabagger Conservative Christian Creationist plan for dealing with record droughts.

You build reservoirs, dipshit.

And fill the reservoirs with what? There's a drought. That means no rain.

So fill the reservoirs with water from the Pacific. Pump water from the Pacific, send it through a desalination plant, then a water treatment plant and then put it in the reservoirs.

But then it makes too much sense, so Libturds won't go for it. And also it might endanger some other puny little rat turdling's nest, so then it won't be accepted by the environmentalst weenies.

WASHINGTON -- President Obama will announce millions of dollars in federal drought assistance Friday when he flies to California and tours fields and orchards ravaged by the deepening water crisis, aides said.

So...how is millions of dollars going to make it rain?

That's what certain intelligent people wanted to do LAST drought. Then it rained and the democrats said there was no more need. As if a drought would never happen again.

The irony is, the climate is acting normally, which normalcy is called climate change.

Meh....common sense and Liberalism don't go together.

California is a Democrat-owned state. The people who live there (well most of their voters DO live there) voted to keep the madness rolling. They bought this "crisis" now they own it. For some reason, though, they don't seem to be loving it as much as they historically have.

Those who can will move out.

Those who can't are most likely the same who voted in this merry band of water thieves.

Now they need to kick back and quit whining.

Why do the anti-science conservative posters never bother to provide links to hard evidence to support their conspiracy theories….


Oh, yeah… Never mind.

You do know that HotAir.com is bullshit, right? "Sean Hannity covered this story on his show last night." That means it's wrong.

Then you should have no problem proving that California did not have a plan in place to deal with a drought of up to 5 years.

Are you implying that Republicans have a plan for dealing with a five-year drought? You assholes can't even admit that the Greenhouse Effect is real. Why do you think that the weather is continually getting more chaotic year after year? Record hear, record cold, record droughts, record floods, record pollution, and your brilliant plan to fix it is to build another oil pipeline.

and the results are in on the dem/lib/baby doc obama plan is to make the rich holyweed crowd and all their donors happy.

I'm from Idaho dude. I farmed for 50 years hay, grain, sugarbeets and potatoes. Dang I'm glad this state is run by republicans.

Video: The valley hope forgot. POSTED AT 3:35 PM ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2009 BY ED MORRISSEY

That would be the San Joaquin Valley in California, one of the most prolific agricultural areas in the country — or at least it was, until environmentalists turned off the water. Did they need it for people in response to the drought? No, because the water that would normally flow to the SJV is getting directed out to sea instead. Environmentalists have chosen to bankrupt an entire ecosystem of farms in favor of protecting the Delta smelt, a three-inch fish that neither feeds people nor eliminates pests from the water system. LINK


Actually, the problem for Central Valley farmers is that their water got taken from them by a federal judge, who put a baitfish ahead of human beings. Central Valley’s water-management system was designed to deal with droughts that last as long as five years, but the reservoirs that held its lifeblood got emptied into the ocean to rescue the Delta smelt.....

In fact, Obama threatened to veto a bill that would have resolved this situation almost exactly two years ago. Instead, Obama insisted that the environmentalists needed to keep channeling water away from this rich agricultural resource and from the farmers who had worked it for generations, thanks to their own engineering genius at defeating droughts, to pour that water into the Pacific Ocean instead. LINK

Soon we will pay $4 for a head of lettuce...fuck the smelt...turn on the water!

Creationist Teabagger Christian Conservatives who deny science are not going to come up with a solution to the Greenhouse Effect.

what evidence?? You guys fudged the numbers to fit your agenda....fact.

Absolute Pubcrappe as always...this is the worst drought since they've kept records...and I love smelt. lol

It's not California's worst drought ever. That's bullshit. This one is only three years old.

Researchers have documented multiple droughts in California that lasted 10 or 20 years in a row during the past 1,000 years.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — California's current drought is being billed as the driest period in the state's recorded rainfall history.

But scientists who study the West's long-term climate patterns say the state has been parched for much longer stretches before that 163-year historical period began.

And they worry that the "megadroughts" typical of California's earlier history could come again.

Through studies of tree rings, sediment and other natural evidence, researchers have documented multiple droughts in California that lasted 10 or 20 years in a row during the past 1,000 years — compared to the mere three-year duration of the current dry spell.

The two most severe megadroughts make the Dust Bowl of the 1930s look tame: a 240-year-long drought that started in 850 and, 50 years after the conclusion of that one, another that stretched at least 180 years.

"We continue to run California as if the longest drought we are ever going to encounter is about seven years," said Scott Stine, a professor of geography and environmental studies at Cal State East Bay. "We're living in a dream world."

Scientists: Past California droughts have lasted 200 years

Doesn't count, there wasn't anyone there taking pictures, and climate change has to be making things worse or we won't do anything about it.

Funny thing, if the climate in California ever actually changes droughts will be few and far between, not a common occurrence, but it is still the fault of climate change that we got this drought.

Plus, being a conservative, you never post links with facts to back up your claims, so this can't actually be true.

The government has emptied reservoirs to try to resuscitate a salmon run that disappeared 60 years ago. That water should have been saved so that it would be available during a drought.

But the enviro-freakshow doesn't care about people.

I love the way you guys have zero ability to think a problem all the way through. I don't know why you behave this way. Is it because you just want to through mud or is it because you lack the ability to have two thoughts in your mind at the same time?
Suppose they are able to "resuscitate a salmon run." Besides the salmon, who else would benefit from the salmon returning. How about the rebirth of a tourism to the area? Did it occur to you that if the salmon come back the fishermen would also come back. Motels, restaruants, gas stations, and various stores would all profit by a return of the salmon. How about the locals? Would they profit by being able to supplement their food supply from the local river. Seems to me you would want a solution that benefits the local in town and the farmers in the area.

Blahblahblahblahblah.


Loons, such as thou, always disregard how many people are harmed by your misguided faux utopian schemes. Turning the Central Valley into a dust bowl will destroy far more jobs than those created by a stream to which ZERO SALMON are returning because it has was NOT THERE for 60 years. Draining a reservoir on this futile project was a waste.

I bet you think Solyndra was a good idea, too.
