I get it now. I thought this thread was about climate change but in reality it is just a vehicle for the OP to be an asshole to the respondents. I was having a problem figuring it out myself but I think you're on to something I'm all for people using energy and water wisely and treating our environment with the respect it deserves but, the bottom line is there are far greater powers controlling the weather than what we can ever dream of overcoming (aka the Sun). To do so would be a great exercise in futility ...and we damn sure shouldn't start throwing taxpayers money at the problem trying to do so. The Carbon Tax would be the worst power to give the .gov and it, unlike the climate, could NEVER be reversed, IMHO |

The question is what specifically should we do about it? Climate change *is* happening. How much of it is due to human activity is not proven (and can't really be) since we don't have the luxury of a system to test hypotheses on. We do have models that fit the data but correlation doesn't imply causation. So, if we suspect that human activity is causing this, what can we do and what effect might it have? Reduce CO2 emissions? Reduce carbon emissions? How soon might that have an effect? How much will it impact our economy or the global economy to force reductions in CO2 emissions? How soon will it make things better? What if the climate is changing due to reasons other than CO2, or partly due to reasons other than CO2? Should we be investing in measures to deal with the effects of climate change, or investing in measures to reduce our impact on the climate (which aren't proven, and can't reliably be proven) or some other measures? There's no question that the lack of snowpack in the Sierras is a problem for much of California. It's not so clear who or what is causing it. Well, we know that our own military and intelligence services have identified climate change as a major national security threat. So, in terms of importance to our security, it ranks right up there with a new fighter jet. That seems to be true whatever is causing it. If the place that supplies a huge chunk of our food supply gets damaged, for any reason -- whether it be climate change or the terrorists setting off a dirty bomb -- then we are going to have a major national problem and be a lot less capable of dealing with foreign problems. Less food makes you weaker. It is as simple as that. Climate change -- from whatever cause you believe it came from -- can cause a whole lot less food. If you look at national air pollution maps, you will see that this growing area is, itself, a visible proof that man can have serious impacts on the environment. The air is typically dirty brown-gray in the Central Valley, and quite thick. So I am pretty sure man can fuck up the environment to a huge degree, even if climate change has bigger influences. So the natural conclusions are that: 1) It is a matter of real concern, no matter how you think it is caused. 2) We could do a better job of limiting our own garbage and shit. and 3) We can start seriously looking into it, or just blithely wait for the day when we wake up and we are toast. Personally, I think that, even if one agrees that man is the primary cause, we are still going to have to think about some form of controlling the weather, just because the masses of people around the world would never get their shit together on a group basis, even if it was to fight off evil space aliens. And I would be really surprised if the US military hasn't done a lot of research on the possibilities already. Since you are So worried..... Write a letter to someone important in your locale about how Someone should build a California style Aquaduct type ditch from the annual flooding of the Midwest to the parched West.

America is fat. So very jiggly and fat. We'll survive the end of Californian large-scale farming. |

You guys bring this up every time, like it is the only thing you are really interested in. I live in the state and the most frequent discussions of gay stuff -- sometimes including all the juicy details so you know they REALLY thought about it -- comes from the people on GD. Why do you guys always pull out the gay thing right away? Is that all you think about? |

California grows 65 percent of the entire US crop of peaches and more than 80 percent of the US crop of strawberries - far more than the entire rest of the US combined. No other growing area even comes close. California produces 100 percent of the US supply of about three dozen common crops, including one-third of the world supply of tomatoes. If you go eat a pizza anywhere in the world, there is a good chance it is topped with California tomatoes. You are under the impression that the Free Market would not adjust? If it did it would probably shift a good deal of the production, and the resulting world power, to other countries. In the meantime, tomatoes might be $20 per pound. Lol. Several of my customers were busy with a meeting with Red Gold yesterday. In Indiana. Tell you what, we will pick up the slack on tomatoes and you dipshits in Cali can export cakes for all the gay weddings. Why are all you California haters sooooo obsessed with gay people?

If you weren't so worried about your god damned strawberries maybe you would have noticed the recent media furor over the law Indiana just passed that has the knickers of seemingly every gay person in America in a twist. I was just pointing out there is precious little that is special about agriculture in California. |

ITT the OP might come to understand why its not a good idea to talk to people from other areas of the country like two year olds while simultaneously asking for people to care about the lack of water in his great state
Droughts are a part of life. What was the cause during the "Dust Bowl" era? Population increases? CO2 emissions? In all seriousness though, it is a problem without many great solutions, aside from "hurry up and wait". I truly believe that this too shall pass and we will figure out a solution for our evil thirsty brothers that no one wants to claim from California (yes I do have a brother that lives there and this thread is very much like our Xmas dinners  )
I just hope that solution is more along the lines of de-sal plants and not taxing the rest of the country. If something can't stand on its own then that something needs to fundamentally change |

I get it now. I thought this thread was about climate change but in reality it is just a vehicle for the OP to be an asshole to the respondents. I am sorry. I have to remember that my mother always told me to try to go along with people who are completely uninformed and have trouble reading. "Completely uninformed" would be trying to make an argument that three, or five, or twenty years of WEATHER is indicative of CLIMATE. Google "Vostok Ice Core Samples" or "deep ocean sediment paleoclimatology" for yet another lesson in why the real idiots are the ones who believe in anthropogenic global cooling, I mean anthropogenic global warming, I mean climate change. Climate is measured in millennia, and it has had large, marked, recurring warming and cooling cycles as far back as we can measure. |
