Southwest Permanent Drought Update

Thirteen years ago President Clinton’s climate advisor announced the Southwest permanent drought based on a dust storm in Phoenix.  Since he made that announcement, Arizona has gotten wetter and is about to flood.

    I had a friend (since deceased) in the Bay Area. She told me long-time California residents are well-aware of the switch from torrential rains and swollen rivers to very dry spells. This knowledge is ubiquitous. In 2001 on a visit, I remember watching on the news, flash flooding from swollen rivers in Marin County.

    Still, the brazen Clime Syndicate decided they could get away with recklessly scapegoating this last drought as man-made. And no sooner than they falsely labeled it the worst in 1200 years, it began to rain. And it keeps raining. Mother Nature has never been on the side of the Clime Syndicate. Only their paymasters are. Their job, first and foremost, is to create and instill fear in the minds of the public.

    An honest look into this mess will begin to reveal to the open mind that UN IPCC – sanctioned climate science has nothing to do with climate, or science. It never has.

    Releases from the Oroville Dam main spillway resume:

    Lake Oroville is at 850 feet elevation and storage is … around 79% of its total capacity and 131% of the historical average.

    We’re releasing from the local small dam, DelValle, something that is rare. Last year it flooded the banks of the channel. This is not a problem for good little Marxists. As soon as the truth thwarts them in one way, they pivot and attack from another direction. They forte is spreading misinformation.

    • Disillusioned says:

      20 miles west of Del Valle is where my friend lived – Fremont.

      Agree with you about leftists – they are slipperier than than eels in an oil spill.
