Just horrific images here. If this isn't the ravages of a changing climate, what is it?

That lake has been below full capacity since 1983.

But sure, it's THIS drought that has it looking like that.

Didn't California just shoot down a desalination plant that had been approved previously?

It's too many damn people...no rocket scientist needed here.

Well the West is and always has been a fricking desert.

But 40 million people decided to move to California...and changed everything in America from agriculture to politics to your iPhone and entertainment. The only water on the West Coast is the Pacific.

Water rights and issues are as old as Los Angeles becoming the 2nd biggest city in America.

See Chinatown movie.

Seems like there is a book that talks about times like these. Drought, plagues, wickedness, wars and rumors of wars... We act shocked every time another gets checked off the list.

Instead of offering to transport and pay all expenses for killing babies maybe California should invest in a desalination plants.

Now do the Aral Sea, which is literally a man-made catastrophe.

Simple math really…. Take out a lot more than goes in… it runs out.

Finances and water work the same.

All this is because we all drink too much bottled water. If we drank Coke like God intended that bastard would be to the tip top.
