In 2011, A&M’s Andrew Dessler said Texas would be hot and dry for the rest of the century.
Texas is vulnerable to warming climate
ANDREW DESSLER , HOUSTON CHRONICLE |
July 10, 2011
The weather of the 21st century will be very much like the hot and dry weather of 2011. Giving extra credibility to this forecast is the fact that the weather extremes that we are presently experiencing were predicted in the first edition in 1995.
Four years later, Texas is record cold and wetter than normal.
NOAA keps saying my neck of the woods will be warmest evah, too. I keep waiting for it and it keeps on being around zero F.
Might not be officially in drought, but much of central and south Texas has little in reserve in the aquifers and water supplies. Could do with a few weeks of heavy, wet weather otherwise a drought will be very quickly declared again with the onset of summer.
In the places that rely on aquifers, such as the San Antonio area, the critical point is that the rain must come in the recharge zone to increase the aquifer levels. Remember well the pink dye they used to measure levels coming out of the faucets at Ft. Sam.
Much of California, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona is semi-desert that depends on fossil water (aquifers)
The problem of how to live in a desert was solved by Israel.
Israel is creating a water surplus using desalination
Israeli water tech reaching America’s biggest states
The Secrets of Saving: Israel’s water conservation
farming methods
And these innovative people are the ones the P.C. crowd does NOT want to support? Instead they want to support the killers and destroyers??? – Does not compute, does not compute, does not…..
Desalinization and nuclear (Thorium) are a win-win combination.
You’ve not been paying attention then. Try looking outside

In case no one’s keeping up, our weather here in Texas has been extremely wet the last 18 months or so.
The Summer of 2014 was quite cool.
Does that mean “no global warming?” Too soon to say, but so far you couldn’t use the actual weather patterns since this guy made that prediction to prove he was on the right track.
g2: Houston, Dallas and West Texas have loads of water. I think Houston water reserves are at 100%. Austin and San Antonio are not so well off. South and Central Texas gets most of its rain in April/May and an occasional decaying hurricane is welcome. Dessler’s forecast of doom is just more propaganda. Just saying that all of Texas is not extremely wet.
