California not suffering, drought?

[jc456]

Do you have precipitation data that disagrees with the state' drought maps? That parts of the state have done well in years past growing grapes - the only "facts" I've seen come from you - is hardly sufficient justification to call the state's water data false.

I've collected a number of data graphics below from as many different sources as I could find in a quick Google search. Do you really want to claim that all these different people are lying to the public? Consider the consequences of such a choice on their part. They'd risk their jobs. They'd risk going to jail. And for what?

Show us a precipitation map of southern California that does NOT show a precipitation shortfall. If you have no such thing, have the decency to admit it.

hmmm...I thought there was a three drought. Your first graph doesn't show a drought in 2013. How can that be?

And your graph shows dry in January in northern Illinois and we had record snow fall. how can that be? Dude, you're being duped.

Damn, you can not only not read english, you cannot read a simple graph. Dark brown is severe drought, light brown is moderate drought, and yellow abnormally dry. The whole of California was in drought situation in 2013. You are beyond stupid, Elektra.

Nope drought is no water, abnormally dry isn't drought. Sorry rabbit tricks are for kids!!!!

Damn, JC, you are just as stupid as Elektra. Since when do you think that third graders get to define scientific terms?

I guess I ain't as stupid as you, that ain't my posts you are quoting.

Old crock reads another user's post, attributes it to me through confusion, and calls me stupid?

Old crock is dumb

Hey, Good News, another record year for grapes in California, dare I say we are not suffering. But hey, don't take my word for it, anybody can see if I tell the truth by going to whatever market you shop at, and see if you can get fat, juicy, grapes from California at about 2$ lb.

Does NO ONE see the ten's of thousands of new homes, apartment complexes, office suites, and shopping centers being constructed in Southern California?? I'm sure there is plenty of construction going on statewide, but I live in Southern California and new construction is rampant! Explain to me how building even ONE NEW HOME makes ANY sense if we are truly experiencing a major drought?
Here's some very simple math...
More dwellings = MORE PEOPLE = MORE WATER CONSUMPTION.

HELLO? Stop the uncontrolled growth!! At LEAST till we have the water, electricity, and infrastructure to support it!!

Take a freaking breather and STOP NEW CONSTRUCTION!!

Until we have the resources QUIT MAKING THE SITUATION WORSE!!

DUH!
