Three years ago, Joe Romm announced the beginning of the permanent drought.
Dust Storm Marks Beginning of Southwest’s “Permanent Drought” | The Energy Collective
It must be that new kind of drought, which is very wet.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I’ve just has an idea.
Every single time someone from the AGW makes a prediction. Ask them if they want to Bet $1000 of their own money to a charity that what they are saying will come true.
Joe would have had a perfect record if it wasn’t for all that “climate change” rain 😉
And besides he is as accurate as the climate liar extraordinaire Mickey Mann.
He would have a perfect record if climate change did always change differently than he said.
errata: … didn’t always change …
The little rainstorm in the photo is just weather. The dust storm is climate.
No, wait a minute. The dust is just weather. The rain is climate.
Now I am all confused!
Same in California where severe droughts are common historically. Much of the state is arid. The probem now is the population of California is new 40 million… 4 times what it was in the 50’s. The natural climate in California was not meant to sustain that many people, green lawns, swimming pools, golf courses, etc. etc. etc. The climate has not changed. The numbers have. Hard to pipe in enough water.
California has been allowed to squander the West’s water resources for too long, and it’s time they get cut off. None of the states upstream of California can build desalinization plants, while California has an immense coastline at its disposal but refuses to take responsibility for their own water needs.
If Karma has anything to offer, perhaps Eco-conscious California will pump all of its groundwater dry, triggering a cataclysmic earthquake in the San Andreas fault, and slide into the sea.

“The climate has not changed. The numbers have.”
You make more sense than all the CAGW alarmist in California put together.
Joe Romm is an idiot. This is just more evidence of that fact.
Oh, oh, oh, EXTREME WEATHER!!! Yeah, that’s the ticket!
All those poor drivers must have been thinking that it was a mirage .

until it was too late
The “People’s Climate Conference” will solve all the problems, everyone will get perfect rainfall. If anyone had any doubts about “climate change” being a VERY far left political agenda, all you have to do is see that title. Right out of the Lenin/Marx/Trotsky playbook.
Heh. They’ll probably pass the People’s Five-Year Plan for weather.
I have a bookmarked a page with the same kind of old time Communist lunacy. It seems to have been discussed a decade ago on Radio Prague:
Not even the dumbest things will ever go away if they can warm a Progressive heart, won’t they?
Some years ago I watched a program on the installation of large precast box culverts in Phoenix. They were specifically for handling drainage during flash floods. You would have to wonder if it makes sense for them to set up massive subterranean storage for water. I don’t think you’d want it exposed to evaporation, and they would need to be able to dredge periodically.
In parts of Texas, the local authorities, (with the cooperation of area cavers) mapped out the size and location of numerous sink holes, especially those that seemed to show signs of possible passage systems continuing from them. They drainage of storm runnoff was routed into the sink holes, thus killing two birds with one stone so-to-speak. The area aquifer was replenished and possibly damaging floods were averted.
Many great reservoirs were built to limit flooding, back when politicians cared about the environment….
Which apologies to Glen Campbell and Jimmy Web fans.

Excellent! Laughed until I cried!
Here is a drought history plot from a source that is (so far) outside of the reach of those who would change our history. This is from Oklahoma. I remember the drought of the 50’s very well. One day the front page of one of the Oklahoma City newspapers had a photo of a man standing on the sun-baked, cracked bottom of the water-supply lake, looking up at a 14-foot aluminum fishing boat dangling from a dock.
