Hey. I thought I was the guy in charge of dried-up cartoons with half-naked women.




Meh. California has been a mirage for years. It was bound to evaporate. When your state governor's name is Brown, expect the lawn to follow suit.

Holy smokes, look at all that...water

[Wolferz]

Time for Californians to invest in rock gardens and coconut palms.

Solar powered desalinization plants with solar powered pumps.

I can have the plans ready in a week, just wire me 5000$ for travel expenses

HA HA! Actually I have all rocks and a huge 5 story palm tree in the front yard-almost four feet in diameter at its base. its at least 40 years old. The rear garden planter-box veggies are on timed sprinklers...you and Betanov know how I love my tomatoes good sweet corn might be a stretch this year though.

Have heard of this now and then in our news.

Wonder how far it will go ? Will it go so far that California becomes a desert ? Hopefully not.

If so, what about the people living in California, will they move to some other state or will we see the worlds biggest( man now I forgot the word I was about to write, it something authorities do when a catastrophe is about to happen or have happened)

It's possible that Cali will become, if not a desert, then at least desert-like, but I think that process would take quite a while to happen. It'll probably become a dry-arid climate, like Arizona.
In regards to people living in California, well there will be an increase in deaths, both from the heat and from forest fires, but they will adapt. The air conditioning people will make a killing, as will the people who bottle water. Desalination is a potential solution, as is pumping in water from outside the state. It's going to be costly, but there will have to be an adaptation to new climatic conditions, not just in California but across the world.

The climate is changing, we either change with it or suffer the consequences.

I'm quite surprised there hasn't been any mention of pumping water from the Columbia River to California yet like there was in the past.

I have no doubt that Californian political intellects crass, cruel and sycophantic, are regarding that river with envious eyes, and slowly and surely preparing to screw us out of it.

Maybe Justin Timberlake will sing about it: " Screw me a River"

Imagine you are a farmer, with millions of dollars of crops and equipment. That must be dreadful.

I do not have to imagine, ´cause I know. Have had families(on my mother side) who was farmer and lost almost everything due to severe drought, which happens now and then i Denmark and Sweden.

But I can't remember we have had such a drought like the one in California.

At least it's not Dust Bowl bad.
