Seeing some of the replies to a comment I made in a thread prompted me to ask this question. I am curious to see what peoples opinions on these issues.

The fact you use Wikipedia as a source totally undermines anything you say.

Agreed. California to. Some farms have already been closed because of no water for irrigation which will likely mean more imports from china and central America.

Yeah water shortages are a big problem in the desert. Always have been, always will be.

I included Wikipedia because so many consider it reliable. I am not one of them.

No, the only real threat is other people.

increased warming = increased evaporation = increased precipitation = more recharge of aquifers

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.

California
The past century has been among the wettest in California history. The current drought is more of a return to the norm than it is an "extreme" condition.

Wikipedia is generally very legit these days. If you question any info you find there, just follow the link to the attached source. If there's no source, then yes you can be skeptical.
ETA: If you think you can believe 100% any info you read anywhere online, not just Wikipedia, then well, you dumb!

We don't have a water shortage...people chose to move to places that don't have much water.
Climate change? Probably just normal fluctuations in temps that people over exaggerate. Don't know the July records but this is one of the coolest ones I can remember.

You guys are just begging to have SpidermanTuba come wreak havoc on the OT.

Wikipedia is good shite. Academics just don't like it because it's not traditional, and it scares them.

A water shortage in the desert??!!!! No way that could happen.. I work with water and the word is water pipelines are going to be more important than oil lines in the near future,around desert cities of course, south Louisiana is due for a flood anytime
