    how about all our food be converted to fuel so we don’t have to eat…

    once we stop eating, then prices will come down…..

    These farmers will lose their crop this year, but their soils should be improved by flooding I would think. As long as the water isn’t moving too quickly.

      We can certainly hope it works out well for them. A farmer interviewed on the radio was assuming he was going to lose all his topsoil and didn’t know what he was going to do.

    Great photo. In extreme desert conditions there are mirages that appear to be water but I have never seen one show up so clearly in a photo before.

    The heat and aridity there must be unprecendented.

    Back in reality, between the Fed Gangsters turning the US dollar into toilet paper, the Green Big Brains burning food for fuel, and problems like this, things are going to get wierd. High food prices triggered Tunisia… and the Obama Youth are all whipped up and ready to protest that The Warming did it.

    Soil moisture more with global warming. 🙂

  5. Andy Weiss says:

    Floods are totally consistent with a warming plantet due to the drywet phenomena.

    Droughts have historically been the biggest menace to crops. With flooding you can lose 5-10% of the US corn crop, but with droughts, 50% or more.
