When Dr. Michael Berry M.D. who foresaw the 2008 real estate collapse, and was portrayed in the movie “The Big Short” was asked what he was now investing in, his answer was “water”.

California is sucking it dry.
Meanwhile they just voted down a huge desalination plant
Yep.
Because in every way, CA is frick YOU to everyone else.
They pass green laws and other environmental shite, but basically sponge off neighboring states.

Cali is soaking up all the water.
Study or two show that Cali is actually more desertlike. The past 300+ years have been especially wet and the climate is reverting back to desert conditions.

Yep. Lots of money buying up vineyards at silly prices. Money don’t care. They are not buying the grapes but the water rights.

Is it the worst drought ever, or is it because more folks are taking the water?

Best solution I can think of is to completely cut off the supply to California and do not allow them to leave.
No great loss
But what about muh thirsty almond and avocado crops that all this water is being used to grow. Aren't those two things and soy Cali's big 3?

Worst drought in 1,200 years.

Climate change people won’t answer that question

I’ve been saying this, let water trade on the NYMEX, let’s see what it’s worth.

Lots of posters are blaming "too many people" but it's actually California agriculture that is the problem.
I don’t think you want to live in a world where we aren’t producing what we can. Water storage, environmental policies, decreased rainfall/snowpack & increasing numbers of people all play their roles in the water problems we have. Growers are always striving to run their operations more efficiently and that includes irrigation techniques.

Bigger problem is that demand for water in places where people shouldn't be living has skyrocketed. Las Vegas, Phoenix,
Arizona's population is currently 7.2 million.
Arizona's population 50 years ago was 2.3 million.
Arizona uses less water today than it did 50 years ago.

It’s flooding everywhere in the South, with more water on the way this weekend

No one is mentioning the environmental protections for the Delta smelt, that reduced the available water supply for farmers in Orange County in 2005. I don't doubt there are other such instances where water conservation and controls have affected the people's water supply.

But Cali just turned down construction of desalination plant in L.A. area. They Keep sucking from the interior.

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

Arizona has much stricter water conservation standards than CA.
