Maybe you can send NASA out to Cali to fix this drought. You are aware of the drought, aren't you?

If you do what NASA says it'll curb GHG emissions, thereby effecting the human impact on climate change

It is kind of an emergency. It needs to happen first thing tomorrow. The Sierra snow pack is alarmingly low. The reservoirs across the state are low, if not empty. We are on the verge of a crisis. I highly doubt lowering emissions is going to have an immediate effect. This is happening now, in real time, today. Instead of arguing who is right or wrong; about how or why it is happening, maybe we can discuss what we are going to do TODAY to get water to California. Otherwise this is nothing but a dramafest.

If we didn’t have California, what would we eat?

Expensive and grainy. California produces a sizable majority of many American fruits, vegetables, and nuts: 99 percent of artichokes, 99 percent of walnuts, 97 percent of kiwis, 97 percent of plums, 95 percent of celery, 95 percent of garlic, 89 percent of cauliflower, 71 percent of spinach, and 69 percent of carrots (and the list goes on and on). Some of this is due to climate and soil. No other state, or even a combination of states, can match California’s output per acre. Lemon yields in California, for example, are more than 50 percent higher than in Arizona. California spinach yield per acre is 60 percent higher than the national average. Without California, supply of all these products in the United States and abroad would dip, and in the first few years, a few might be nearly impossible to find. Orchard-based products in particular, such as nuts and some fruits, would take many years to spring back.

maybe you idiots can stop farming fucking rice.

kinda dumb to grow the most water intensive crop possible in the middle of the most drought stricken region of the fucking state.

Same shit with almonds
i don't know how water intensive they are, but i like how he complains about food being "expensive and grainy" if not for california.

he forgot to mention the part where millions of acres of rice (a fucking grain) are planted and used almost exclusively for sushi (fucking expensive).

almost 100% of the sushi rice used in america comes from california, even though other areas are perfectly well suited to grow it.

Sheskunk's philosophy, if it doesn't bring immediate results... fuckit.

As the problem gets worse more people seem to not give a shit, live for today fuck tomorrows generation.


I don't get it, people used to want to leave the world better than when they came into it and modern times is hell bent on destroying the world through any means necessary.

Were you able to understand the information in those clips? Do you need me to find some more for you?

I didn't waste my time watching them. Cartoons. lol

I am, for the moment, subscribing to your beliefs on climate change. California is currently feeling the direct effects of it. So I ask you once again, "Now what?"

Actually, I am experiencing the problem. I am asking "Now what?" How can I better my world? Today.

Are you trying to tell me that nothing can be done at this moment? Other than riding my bicycle to work?

Is California doomed?

Some people just want to argue. It's much easier than actually doing anything.
