Last Call For Water Fall In The West

Welcome to the future of the American West.

The punishing drought that has swept California is now threatening the state’s drinking water supply. 

With no sign of rain, 17 rural communities providing water to 40,000 people are in danger of running out within 60 to 120 days. State officials said that the number was likely to rise in the months ahead after the State Water Project, the main municipal water distribution system, announced on Friday that it did not have enough water to supplement the dwindling supplies of local agencies that provide water to an additional 25 million people. It is first time the project has turned off its spigot in its 54-year history.

We're not talking about "Oh well, can't water the lawn during the daylight hours."  We're talking tens of thousands of Americans having to get bottled water trucked in until further notice for months.  

Or longer.

“We are on track for having the worst drought in 500 years,” said B. Lynn Ingram, a professor of earth and planetary sciences at the University of California, Berkeley. 

Already the drought, technically in its third year, is forcing big shifts in behavior. Farmers in Nevada said they had given up on even planting, while ranchers in Northern California and New Mexico said they were being forced to sell off cattle as fields that should be four feet high with grass are a blanket of brown and stunted stalks.

100-year flooding two years ago, now 500-year droughts.  But climate change is a gigantic myth perpetrated by liberal media outlets to sell hybrid cars.

But it's all okay, because God will fix it.
