re: 'Megadrought' emerging in the western US might be worse than any in the last 1,200 years

Interesting. Yet in parts of Colorado and Wyoming there was more snow this year and last than almost ever. One rancher I know in Wyoming has now had over 42 feet of snow with the latest blizzard two days ago dumping 16 new inches.
Of course, this will be deemed man made by the "experts" when the reality is the sun cycles make up 99.99999% of the impact and things like volcanoes spew more CO2 in the air in a week than humans do in a decade also let's not forget our friends the Chinese who will sign any climate accord and then ignore it while hoping competing economies fail.

If you want the truth it is because any pipline would not carry enough water to make a dent in the problem, if you could build one large enough the amount of power required to move the water would be off the charts.
I thought you were joking and not seriously asking a quetion, any adult should be able to grasp the physics involved.

so the part of the country classified as a desert is experiencing desert-like conditions?
who woulda thunk it?

Baton Rouge trying to figure future of aquifer
A battle is coming for fresh water. Salt is intruding some aquifers including the Baton Rouge one.

Look up the Colorado River Compact for some interesting reading on the subject of water rights and distribution in the arid southwest.

So let me get this straight.
Global warming leads to
Polar ice caps melting leads to
Global water levels rising leads to
Drought in the western US.
Is that what's happening?

1.6 million gallons of fresh water flows by Baton Rouge every second

The western states need to build desalination plants

Maybe you should join the conversations with Exxon and other leaders and get this simple solution fixed.

T Boone Pickens Planned to sell his water to cities
Maybe you enjoy drinking Mississippi River water at end when all the countries shite is in it.
See link: Here is another example of the water battle coming.

Remember after Katrina people were saying that's what we get for living in a city built under sea level? Well, this is what you get for living in a fricking desert.

We should build water plants instead of supporting multigenerational populations of welfare recipients. There are solutions but the country is lost/broken.

We should charge what water is worth where people are located.

New Orleans uses river water. What makes BR so special?

The OP relishes in doom and gloom.

Baton Rouge has a salt free aquifer. It’ll take a lot of money (no one in Louisiana has) to rework it to river water but can be done.

Phoenix was such a lush, green place when I would visit as a child. You never left without an umbrella, I can tell you that!!
Has it changed much? I really need to get back.

In what world are warm and wet automatically tied together? The very area your OP is talking about shows they absolutely don’t have to be.
