Stanford Study Links Climate Change to CA Drought

I did read the part about the Stanford study linking drought to climate change. And then I read your response citing the example of EGYPT once being lush. Since the "lushness" of Egypt going back to biblical times has always been associated with the Nile river delta, I felt it prudent to point out that the lack of lushness we observe today can be directly traced to the damming of the Nile River.
That is what you get for not paying attention.
That wasn't responsible for the lushness. The climate was.

At the point in time when a lush "Egypt" existed beyond the boundaries of the Nile it wasn't called Egypt and humans hadn't evolved beyond smarter, slightly less hairy apes.

Yeah...Yeah...I know that this is just another study by a left wing university with a secret communist agenda to destroy capitalism through environmentalism...

The climate denialists are quickly becoming the flat earth society.

Climate denialists?? Give it up man, the con has been exposed and the majority of people think its bunk. Find another cause to get behind.

And you still know what was being spoken about as it was posted before you posted your reply.

So again.
At the end of the last Ice Age, the Sahara Desert was just as dry and uninviting as it is today. But sandwiched between two periods of extreme dryness were a few millennia of plentiful rainfall and lush vegetation.
Sahara Desert Was Once Lush and Populated
 
:naughty
That would be your ignorance you are speaking of.
Al Gore ~ iLOL :slapme::2rofll::slapme:

Your immaturity on this subject speaks volumes.

What con exactly are you referring to?

iLOL :doh
Immaturity is believing in fairy tales like AGW.
 
And when the drought is over and it's raining too much, you all will blame global warming.

Your inability to grasp the concepts of the effects of climate change on the weather belies your ignorance on the subject.
 
iLOL :doh

Oh OK. The vast, vast majority of scientists are either all immature, communists or dilusional. The only dilusion here is the rights inability to disinguish between science and politics.

And again. You know not of what you speak.
You don't have a vast majority of anything.

And then, when you absolutely fail to support your argument, you resorr to insults. This proves the lie that is global warming. The evidence is so week, that the warmers can't support the theory. Every little variance in the weather and it's global cooling, global warming, climate change. What name change is next?

Or as I once heard the enlightened Rachel Maddow say to David Letterman " extreme weather of ANY kind is global warming".

I know you are but what am I argument really???? And I am supposed to take that seriously?
 
There's no denying that the earth goes through its natural cycles of warming and cooling, causing extinctions and mass migrations. There's also no denying that the globalized model of economy has negatively terraformed this entire planet in non-sustainable ways toward an ecosystem disaster that will devastate both humans and other living creatures alike.

California's climate change was always inbound. What has severely amplified the problem is industrial agriculture's depletion of the natural aquifers beneath the land that were originally the land's way of replenishing living water supplies during periods of intense draught and scarcity. You can't just keep raping the land of its resources and then complain when there's nothing left. The earth has limited bounty -- when are modern humans going to get it through their thick heads?

The only way to solve the world's ecological problems is to return to the ancestral knowledge of the aboriginals. Before europeans colonized North America, pretty much the entire continent had been terraformed by the natives into sustainable food supplies that worked in tandem with nature's needs as well. There was true stewardship. Right now we are taking everything we can under the profit model with no regard for future generations. We are seeing adults who are basically taking the livelihoods of their own children and grandchildren away from them because the baby boomer generation taught them that making money and living exorbitantly matters more than anything.

The argument about climate change is a bait and switch. Modern humans were destroying this planet well before the AGW started. Get a clue.
 
I know you are but what am I argument really???? And I am supposed to take that seriously?
iLOL
I sling your juvenile comments back at you and you complain? Figures. :doh

It's certainly an ongoing trend, that's for sure. Every year since I moved to California has seen less rain every rainy season. Last winter I think we got around three days. In 2004 we got so much rain it nearly flooded the washes.
 
I can't imagine one of the very best universities in this Nation that employs Professor Condi Rice putting out "bad" science. For those who have lived through the 40-year drought, the focus needs to be on an interstate-type system of water pipelines to relocate water from floods to droughts .
 
Calif is a marginal desert that has too high of a population and grows too much food for such an arid region. This drought would be no big deal if not for the artificial burden man puts on the limited water resources.

Well, technically that's true. If it weren't for the people and animals that need food and water to survive droughts indeed wouldn't matter at all.
