re: Is the threat from Global Warming and Water Shortages real

Regardless which side of the climate change debate you are on, water is an issue in many southwestern states and cities. Texas is in the middle of a bad drought....which we seem to go through every 2 or 3 years. But the population explosion in Texas magnifies the problem. Seeing as over 50% of the water usage in DFW is for landscape irrigation, it seems pretty obvious we should go the way of Arizona and restrict sizes of lawns and type of plants used. But instead we seem to want to spend multi millions on new lakes in East Texas and take property from people that have lived on that land for generations. because, well, telling Joe suburb he can't have a giant English garden with pastoral green lawns will lead to communism. While taking people's property and paying developers and contractors millions is God's way.
