Liberal environmentalists blamed for Calif. water crisis

[boedicca]

The drought is caused by lack of precipitation.

What a clueless post. We don't have a drought every year. It rains and snows quite at times. That's why we have a network of reservoirs and canals to store and distribute water. Sadly, the Democrats who control the state cancelled water storage projects in the 1970s. We've added no new capacity while the population has doubled. Add to that the lunacy of actually draining reservoirs for Environ Nazi purposes. The water shortage is a Man Made Disaster.

Thats weird because I heard people saying that the drought and lack of snow is the reason why they are running out of water. I didnt know that the rain is like Field of Dreams and if you build it they (the rain) will come.

Now try again to slip by with that "we have droughts all the time" non sense as if this time is like every other

What a load of rhetorical rubbish.

This is derangement syndrome in action. Every single bit of bad news has to be blamed on liberals in the RW cult world.

Former Hewlett-Packard CEO and potential Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina is blaming California’s water crisis on “liberal environmentalists” who are “willing to sacrifice other people’s lives and livelihoods at the altar of their ideology.”

Like all Republican CON$ervatives Fiorina is a pathological liar.

Californians pass 7.5 billion water bond Now what 89.3 KPCC

Gov. Jerry Brown's water bond coasted to victory Tuesday night, winning more than two "yes" votes for every "no" to fund drought resiliency programs, such as adding water storage, cleaning up polluted groundwater and reusing and recycling water.

Isn't that if you build it they will come......wasn't Fiorina referencing what wasn't done because it was cancelled

Funny how the Global Warming deniers claim it is arrogant to believe that 7 BILLION people can effect the environment, and then turn around and say that a few California environmentalists can stop the rain!

 

[Manonthestreet]

No we said they didn't capture it .......nobody said prevent......

The drought is caused by lack of precipitation.

There's always been a lack of precipitation in California. That hasn't changed, to make the current drought "worse".

What's making it worse, is that there are a lot more people using what water there is... and no attempts to conserve that water by creating more reservoirs, canals, etc.

oh stop it with the deniers. Nobody denies the globe is probably warming. If you can't win an argument just turn to insults and name calling

but anyway you might to take back who the liar is:

Review & Outlook
California’s Green Drought
How bad policies are compounding the state’s water shortage.
April 5, 2015 6:01 p.m. ET
The liberals who run California have long purported that their green policies are a free (organic) lunch, but the bills are coming due. Lo, Governor Jerry Brown has mandated a 25% statewide reduction in water use. Consider this rationing a surcharge for decades of environmental excess.

The people in California have actually done a lot to cut down their water usage. Usage per household is down quite a lot. But available water (that is, water from reservoirs etc.) hasn't changed. There is the problem.

Wow. Three lies in one post. That's slightly above the liberal average.

1.) Conservatives aren't denying climate change. They are pointing out that man didn't make it change, and can't change it back.
2.) Conservatives aren't saying a "few" can change it. If anyone, it's liberals who are claiming that. Always with no proof.
3.) Nobody's saying the environmentalists are "stopping the rain". If you would stop slavering for a second and read the OP, you'd find that the problem is that people aren't conserving the rain that does fall, by building more reservoirs etc.

Now why don't you try again, and see if you can get at least one fact into your hysterical posts.

Not one dam in California has ever been blocked by environmentalists. CON$ claiming there is no money for the projects is another matter.

Dams and reservoirs can't catch and hold precipitation that does not fall due to climate change caused by global warming.

Certainly can't catch what does fall either....did you read the link....how many projects got canceled ...how much water was wasted.

Well, goddammit. The hippies shoulda known all that carbon in the air would melt all the ice. They shoulda built some big reservoirs to catch all that melted ice. So what if the right denied it was ever going to happen and blocked any climate change spending. It's the hippies' own damn fault!

There you have it. That's Carly's real issue. The West may be entering a fifty year drought, which is probably in part man made, and the anti-tax anti-govt do anything Proposition Thirteen Calif gop might have changed their minds twenty years ago about building dams, but you got 39 million forlks in Calif, and not enough rain to water lawns.

Carly Fiorina Liberal environmentalists to blame for Calif. drought TheHill

Hey she has to get some stupid zingers in there as well!

Sure his had nothing to do with it

I don't see how protecting our environment is a liberal or conservative thing.

Sure, it's a few mouthfulls of water that's the problem.

California Suffers Historic Drought While Oil Industry Wastes 2 Million Gallons of Water Daily

Every single day in California, the oil and gas industry uses way more than 2 million gallons of what precious little water the state has remaining in dangerous extraction techniques such as fracking, acidizing, and cyclic steam injection. This abominable waste of water is in spite of California farmers, cities, and residents struggling to find ways to conserve water and meet the new mandate to reduce water use by 25% to survive an historic drought. While the rest of the state is now forced to do its share to conserve a rapidly diminishing water reserve, the oil and gas industry continues using, contaminating, and disposing of staggering amounts of precious water each day.


To make matters that much worse, the over 2 million gallons of toxic water the oil and gas industry disposes of daily is pumped into the aquifer and poisons the diminishing underground supply at an alarming rate; so much so that well over a hundred (at last count) drinking-water wells have been shut down by state water regulators and the EPA due to oil waste-water contamination.

The shuttered wells have forced residents of some California cities that are completely out of water to travel to buy bottled water for all their needs. Worse, the water the people are forced to purchase for basic survival was absconded from Californians by another corporation that believes water is not a basic human right but a commodity reserved for the corporation’s profit in the ultimate representation of corporate greed at the expense of human lives.


The Nestlé company, one of the world’s largest multinational corporate entities, operates several water-bottling plants up and down California in some of the areas hardest hit by the historic drought. Instead of helping conserve a dwindling natural resource, Nestlé is robbing what little water the state has left either to sell on the foreign market or to the areas where wells are dried up or poisoned by the oil and gas industry. Just to demonstrate the Nestlé company’s disregard for California’s lack of water, it takes three litres of water to produce one litre of bottled water, and Nestlé rejected several requests and demands from resident and activists to “halt its irresponsible and wasteful” bottling operations because they are in business to make money. What is even more despicable, like the oil industry, Nestlé enlists willing Republicans and employs lobbyists to block attempts to force the company to adhere to water conservation efforts the rest of the state is held to in the name of protecting corporate profits. Nestlé’s CEO is notorious for claiming water is not a basic human right and just another commodity that exists for the company’s profits.
