One of the biggest lies being spread by the team is that the US is having an historic drought.
In fact, the US is wetter than normal
Climate at a Glance: Time Series | National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)
Compare vs. 80 years ago, when 80% of the US was experiencing drought.
And July has been even wetter than June.
The West Coast is dry therefore, since much of our media is there, all the world is dry.
This is the parochial view problem. It is wet as a jungle here in NY this summer.
The problem is that there are too many people and not enough water when periodic droughts occur as they have always occurred over history.
Well also doing things like diverting water for endangered fish contributes to the problem, unless you put the delta smelt above people and agriculture.

According to the Low Fertility Band of the UN Population Survey, the only version that’s ever even close to accurate, we are entering a plateau, peaking about 2045 at 8 bn. Population will collapse to 6.x bn by 2100, causing major aging and labor shortage problems. Androids to the rescue!?
Albuquerque broke a record getting an inch of rain in a single day. So far the “monsoon season” rains are double the average, but they were on the radio news yesterday assuring us the drought continues.
dmmcmah, that is exactly the thing many of us notice repeatedly. Thanks for posting.
As low temp records fall across the Northern Hemisphere, where are the “scary” news stories by topless babes? Can you imagine if this were winter and new record highs were being set?
Gov. corruption combined with media bias, it works (almost) every time it’s tried.
Tucson is having a heroic monsoon season with floods and lightning, too.
Just as warming makes it cold, so drought causes rain – or rain causes drought, whichever.
