    instead of turning that on to produce water for the rivers and creeks, they go chase farmers irrigation waters reserves....

    I know this is nowhere near the scale but Lake Thomas was at 1% capacity....<4 ft last month. The towns out in west Texas that depended on it were in serious trouble as all area reservoirs were heavily taxed. But the remnants of hurricane Odile blew thru with torrential rains for several days. Now it sits at about 50% capacity...49 ft. Pretty amazing transformation.

    Shows that we can markedly affect things.

    Sad though, when one considers the human cost. Vibrant healthy local economies shot to and people with no place to go.

    Hubbard Creek Lake outside of Breckenridge Tx has virtually dissappeared along with a ton of businesses. It's hard to drive thru the place seeing all the vacant shops when I remember water skiing the lake a few decades ago.

    as if you BigCarbon shills were amenable to facts

    New Satellite Maps Show World’s Major Ice Caps Melting at Unprecedented Rate




    German researchers have established the height of the Greenland and Antarctic ice caps with greater precision than ever before. And the new maps they have produced show that the ice is melting at an unprecedented rate.

    The maps, produced with a satellite-mounted instrument, have elevation accuracies to within a few metres. Since Greenland’s ice cap is more than 2,000 metres thick on average, and the Antarctic bedrock supports 61 percent of the planet’s fresh water, this means that scientists can make more accurate assessments of annual melting.

    Dr Veit Helm and other glaciologists at the Alfred Wegener Ins ute’s Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven, Germany, report in the journal The Cryosphere that, between them, the two ice sheets are now losing ice at the unprecedented rate of 500 cubic kilometers a year.

    Interestingly, the pattern of water evaporation of the Aral Sea matches the pubic hair timeline on boutons crotch.

    no...not the temp. I was only referring to the loss pattern. bouton's loss is from chronic itching.

    With Dry Taps and Toilets, California Drought Turns Desperate

    But she has not had running water for more than five months — nor is there any tap water in her near future — because of a punishing and relentless drought in California. In the Gallegos household and more than 500 others in Tulare County, residents cannot flush a toilet, fill a drinking glass, wash dishes or clothes, or even rinse their hands without reaching for a bottle or bucket.

    Unlike the Okies who came here fleeing the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, the people now living on this parched land are stuck. “We don’t have the money to move, and who would buy this house without water?” said Ms. Gallegos, who grew up in the area and shares a tidy mobile home with her husband and two daughters. “When you wake up in the middle of the night sick to your stomach, you have to think about where the water bottle is before you can use the toilet.”


    Now in its third year, the state’s record-breaking drought is being felt in many ways: vanishing lakes and rivers, lost agricultural jobs, fallowed farmland, rising water bills, suburban yards gone brown. But nowhere is the situation as dire as in East Porterville, a small rural community in Tulare County where life’s daily routines have been completely upended by the drying of wells and, in turn, the disappearance of tap water.

    “Everything has changed,” said Yolanda Serrato, 54, who has spent most of her life here. Until this summer, the lawn in front of her immaculate three-bedroom home was a lush green, with plants dotting the perimeter. As her neighbors’ wells began running dry, Ms. Serrato warned her three children that they should cut down on long showers, but they rebuffed her. “They kept saying, ‘No, no, Mama, you’re just too negative,’ ” she said.

    More cherry picking, and conspiracy theory, with no real original attempt at science.

    the global warming pause/cooling , financed by BigCarbon s, has been thoroughly debunked.

    US military and major corporations all accept AGW and are looking how to maintain their profits and power in the face of mass starvation and global uprisings (and how to profit from it, like corrupting politicians to sell them municipal water systems to be run for profit)

    Miami and Chesapeake bay coastal cities are already experiencing serious ocean level rises, flooding.

    I'm sure the capitalists/corps that caused the Banksters' Great Depression and then profited from it, have identified how they can profit from the AGW disaster(s). eg, they are buying into food and water all over the planet.

    When winters are unseasonably cold for the past 10 years its "just weather."

    When a drought or hurricane or anything else happens that has nothing to do with CO2 its global warming.

    Got it.

    What winter, WORLDWIDE, has been unseasonably cold?

    A cold winter in the US does not mean the entire world had a cold winter.

    And even last year's supposed "record cold" "polar vortex" winter in the US turned out to be ... not really that cold.

    Got it.
    winters have been WARMER for years, that's why permafrost is melting in Alaska and destroying roads, why the tundra is melting in Siberia and releasing Ms tons of methane, creating huge sink holes.

    But, ing FACTS don't fit your BigCarbon propaganda, so ignore them, even better, DENY them.

    Anyway, the current BigCarbon/Repug propaganda tactic is to say, en chorus altogether, "I'm not a scientist" (so I, a corrupted by corporate money, refuse to do anything about AGW, esp not anything that would hurt BigCarbon profits and subsidies and therefore hurt my campaign's quid-pro-quo income)
