Quote HistoryQuoted:
The gulf coast states would make up the rice production easily, there is thousands of acres in TX alone not being planted that used to be. Cali beef production is in the single digits and turkeys can be raised nearly anywhere. More cotton per acre means more water per acre. Hmmm Quote HistoryQuoted:

If Cali was the main producer of meat, potatoes, rice, beans, wheat, cotton, corn, you know the staples I would be interested.   California produces about 20 percent of the US rice crop, is seventh in bean production, fourth in beef production, seventh in turkey production, is fifth in cotton production and produces twice as much cotton per acre than other regions, as well as incidental crops in the other areas. But mah strawberries!!!! |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I find it very sad that all you ignorant fucking haters are hoping and or don’t give a shit if the farmers in this state go under. The countys they live - work - and vote in are the most red county’s in the state ... so you’re all hoping you’re fellow conservatives take a fucking .... thats real nice of you Well I don't feel that way at all. I agree that the best parts of California will be the ones affected most by this. However, you've got to admit that when those liberal coastal cities in California (huge voting blocs) see that agriculture is using 77% of the state's water they're highly likely to screw you over without any help needed from the rest of America, correct? That's pretty much the recent history of California right there. |

What percentage of californians actually participate in getting that food to the tables? I would guess less than 20% possibly less than 10%. Pare down the remaining 80% and the water problem would vanish. California as a whole wanting everyone else to care about their crops being threatened by their own stupid over-development of arid regions is a non starter when the problem is clear.

Six page thread. Where does it say exactly why it's scary? It doesn't look scary to me at all. Looks kind of nice, actually.

But I thought that would have been obvious from the conversation. Won't they just move if they can't produce in CA any longer? Sure the prices will go up, but that has to be easier than trying to control the sun. I highly doubt ww3 is going to start because of your strawberries. |

Its like either clockwork, or magic, or maybe a force of nature, but its real and its predictable. Fucking dipshits. The word is almost as powerful as "Louis Farrakhan." I think that part of the problem is that California used to give us such great politicians such as Reagan and Nixon, used to symbolize the best of the promise of post-WWII prosperity, used to be the playground of our imaginations, was a laboratory of participatory democracy (think Proposition 19) and was so well run during the 1950's to the 1970's. Now that it has been hijacked by socialists and foreigners, it is a bitter loss. |

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. That would be cool.

So I haven't followed all the strains of this thread or read every page. It already has been mentioned that California uses all that water to attempt to turn desert into agricultural land. It works, some of the time. But the CA agriculture fans should remember that the majority of CA agriculture is artificial, based on water pumping. Easy come, easy go.
ETA - I suspect that Cali is going to get a real scare when the Colorado River water compact gets redone. Oh, it will happen. Lake Mead will go down another 30' or so, and it will happen.

I'm sure it's been said already but 5 years of pictures on a planet that is millions of years old don't really tell much of a story. Five years is forever, if you're a strawberry. |

You mean like our Founding Fathers did? This nation was founded on the deaths of countrymen because of politics. And there are a shit ton of fucks in Cali that are not my fellow countrymen. I was not born in Mexico, nor do I salute the Mexican flag. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Dupe for a couple of weeks ago. Maybe if we let them die of thirst they'll go back to Mexico...maybe then they can ask the UN for bottled water. It may not look like it, but that's about 35 percent of your weekly meals you are looking at in those pictures. And.....too many people in too small an area to support them. Liberals talk about sustainability, but guess what? They don't live it. A big die off would help. Some will get by, some won't. Luckily I live in a state that provides the 2nd most of it's food from local/in state sources behind AK and we damn sure aren't running out of water in my lifetime. Already saw where a politican floated the idea of mass relocations paid for by the US government to other parts of the country, want to see an armed proptest go ahead. It's not the farmers that fucked the water supply, too many people in too small an area. Fuck em. You mean like our Founding Fathers did?

I was not born in Mexico, nor do I salute the Mexican flag. Yup, Reconquista like a Ma'Fucker. Are non-Hispanic Whites a minority yet? You folks need to start breeding more. If you need help with that, I for one, will step up and help spread the seed of patriotism.

The past 2500 years appear to have had recurrent persistent droughts. Prolonged drought episodes appear to correspond with the timing of ice drift minima (solar maxima) identified from North Atlantic marine sediments, suggesting that changes in solar irradiance may be a possible mechanism influencing century-scale drought in the western Great Basin. No, no NO. It is because my truck doesn't blow sunshine and unicorns out the tailpipe. Moar taxes and regulations are needed, because they will "fix" the cycles and changes that this planet has undergone since, well, since ever. |

First... lol.
Second, OP is trolling or has the stupids: OP sees a problem, and wants to solve it. The solution will either make money, break even, or lose money. That's it. Those are the only options. If the solution would make money, investors would be lining up in droves, if the OP didn't already have that money-making machinery in place. It's not happening. If it would break even, then the OP is talking about him (or others) funding the entirety of the solution. What's the estimated cost of space umbrellas? Let us say it's $1T+. That's not happening. The ONLY option left is losing money, and I can guaran-Goddamn-tee you that the OP isn't paying it. So where would that money come from? There are only two sources: voluntary and mandatory. OP ain't getting my money, and I'd imagine that he ain't getting too much of anybody else's money... So a mandatory money source it is, then. But where, you ask? The taxpayers, of course. Lastly, the OP can keep his money grubbing line-of-thought the fuck out of my wallet.
