Well, anyone who can stop the seas from rising and control the climate should be able to manage 6 months of drought without a lot of effort.
So then Sec. of Interior Udall said that only a hurricane or a series of sod-soaking rains could ease the situation.
He thought a hurricane landfall or a series of extreme downpours and flooding would be a *good* thing. Today they are all bad, and all caused by big fossil fuel.
Today’s climateers remind me of the old Star Trek episode, Spock’s Brain, when the brain thief’s genius expires and she shouts “Brain! Brain! What is brain!”
That 60’s drought was amazing. The ground was so baked out back then that, while golfing, I cold topped a 7 iron and it rolled 150 yards on to the green, within 6 feet of the pin. The ball greeted me with a huge “smile” that the blade of the club had inflicted.
Even though I was fairly young then, growing up in the Philadelphia area, I remember the great concern the drought caused. Because New York City, which basically controls the Upper Delaware River watershed, wasn’t releasing any water into the river, ocean salt was making it up the river as far as Philadelphia. That city, which took a lot of its water out of the Delaware just north of the city, was panicked that its main source of water could become unusable.
