Jay Familglietti, NASA’s top water scientist, recently warned that California has only a year’s supply of water left in storage facilities and the backup groundwater is rapidly depleting. Despite this harrowing fact, California has no backup plan to address this crisis.
“California has no contingency plan for a persistent drought like this one (let alone a 20-plus-year mega-drought), except, apparently, staying in emergency mode and praying for rain,” stated Familglietti. “In short, we have no paddle to navigate this crisis.”
UPDATE: California Gov. Jerry Brown issues ineffectual, mandatory water restriction as one-third of our nation’s crops are threatened. See Page 3 for updates.

Blah blah. Tall sum ignant sum itches
A year from now you idiots will be dying of thirst and STILL arguing about who’s fault it is. It won’t matter who or what caused this when you run out of water and you all die. So I’d shut the $#%&!@* up and stop watering your damn lawn.
Stop the bullet train project. ……it’s so stupid out of control budget! !!
Geeeeeee…if climate change would just raise the oceans 50 feet…
And they think we’re nuts to live in cold Michigan. We’ve got water, fresh water all around us, while Californians have spent the last 40 years distroying 100 year old “Unneeded water reservoir dams”!
And you are obviously a right wing neo-con douchebag
Neither left or right, just American. A dying breed to the two party system.
How about take a note from Bush and say “we need a better stratigery”.
It’s there own damn fault. If there ignorant democratic government would send all the illegal immigrants back to Mexico and stop housing them for free and giving them everything then they might not be so bad off.
I guess they will just cry racism and ask for a federal investigation. Lololololol
