California has known for generations that it is prone to suffer from drought from time to time, yet did nothing to “mitigate the worst effects” of an extreme drought as their population was doubling.
If those words sound familiar, it’s straight out of the liberal global warming playbook. Ironic.
California’s water crisis IS a human-made problem, and the blame lies at the feet of environmentalists who have successfully blocked the creation of new water reservoirs in the hardest-hit areas of the California drought. Now California’s entire population is at risk of not having enough water to drink, prepare food, take a shower, water their lawns and a host of other water issues as the drought continues.
If what NASA is saying is accurate, California will need 11 trillion gallons of water to end the drought. Put another way, they need 30 billion gallons of rainfall daily for one entire year, without fail. Or they need something like 12.5 feet of snow to fall on every part of the state during the winter and then melt.
Now they’re having to look at desalinization to turn ocean water into drinking water. It costs double what it would take to build and run a reservoir, and the reservoir would have superior output, too.
If you want to see what a man-made disaster looks like, California’s the poster child. I hope the other states are taking notes on what not to do with their environmental policies.
Mother Nature can turn this drought around, as it has before, but it’s going to take a long time to happen. They won’t get 30 billion gallons of rainfall a day for 365 days without fail. Nor will they get covered by 12.5 feet of snow in a winter.
Environmentalism is good, but California’s environmentalism is an example of what happens when liberal environmental politics overrides common sense.
