Thread: Liberal scientists say global warming, not illegals, worsening California drought

What would we do without liberal scientists – scientists who, in order to earn their paychecks, are required to find problems with whatever their grants pay for? In this case, they are required to find dangers from global warming. If they don't, their grants are cut off, and they have to get productive jobs, or get retrained to speak Spanish and deliver social services to families of Dreamers.

Don't worry – scientists are still doing their jobs!

Global warming caused by human emissions has most likely intensified the drought in California by roughly 15 to 20 percent, scientists said Thursday, warning that future dry spells in the state are almost certain to be worse than this one as the world continues to heat up.

Oh, no!

Even though the findings suggest that the drought is primarily a consequence of natural climate variability, the scientists added that the likelihood of any drought becoming acute is rising because of climate change.

Wait. Would you call this hedging a bit? So the drought is primarily natural in cause, and global warming is...what again?

“This would be a drought no matter what,” said A. Park Williams, a climate scientist at Columbia University and the lead author of a paper published by the journal Geophysical Research Letters. “It would be a fairly bad drought no matter what. But it’s definitely made worse by global warming.”

Okay. Got it. The only problem is, there hasn't been any global warming in 18 years. Really.

It's all natural temperature variation. But there is another side to water scarcity, which is consumption. And 3 million illegal aliens in California are undoubtedly contributing to water shortages. Why don't scientists ever talk about that? Probably because they would lose their jobs. It's safer to talk about a scientific process they can't prove than a factual certainty that is staring them in the face but would get them fired if they mentioned it.

Articles have started appearing talking about evil property owners who "guzzle" water for their lawns. But you will never see articles about illegal aliens guzzling water. Illegals don't guzzle. They dream and are busy ascending to the most virtuous state of being mankind can ever achieve. Meanwhile, the California water shortage is caused by a hockey stick-like increase in temperature that has not been happening for the past 18 years.

Actually, California has plenty of water available but simply chooses not to store it for human consumption. Instead, it focuses on putting black balls in the water supply, and educating people to eat less "water rich" food.

Okay, here's how I see it.

I've known since I was kid from science class that the world will continue to heat up because of our closing proximity to the sun. So global warming is a fact. The issue is whether or not human existence contributes to that. Yes, it does, no question about it. The more people, the more pavement, the less forests, the more chemicals and green house gases, yes, there's no question that this creation of human populations create hot deserts both in cleared land and especially paved land where there was once forests contribute to the baking effect of the sun. Yes, we've also had some other very bad chemicals that have hurt the ozone layer and caused holes in the ozone protection which that allows more sun radiation to enter our atmosphere. 40 years ago in the same sun, we sun goddesses covered ourselves in baby oil laced with iodine to expedite tanning. There was no need for sun block. Now everyone needs to wear sun black, not 10, not 20, but 30, 40 and 50, So in our lifetime, we have our own personal evidence of global warming.

And population growth is a contributing factor.

Drought is not related to global warming. Droughts are natural events. The issue with population and in this context illegal aliens is when we have droughts, there are dangerous water shortages and obviously the more people in the affected area, the more water you need and to get it from supply areas that are also populated with illegal aliens means everyone is now threatened with water shortages.

The more people, the more water needed to sustain them. Our generation has known all this since the 1970's. The problems are escalating faster than anyone thought possible because of this massive worldwide population growth.

Look at this chart of world population growth since 1950. In 1950, the human population was less 2.7 billion. In 2010, it was 6.8 billion. And it's project to be 7.5 billion by 2020, just 4.5 years from now.

Then ask yourselves can our planet adjust to this massive population growth?

Yes, I believe our planet can adjust, but not without catastrophic consequences to all life forms, including our own.

And I blame the Pope and other religions who promote population growth. This is a deadly wrong for all species and forms of life, including our own. I don't believe our Dear Lord created this beautiful planet for the human species to enjoy and appreciate for us just to turn around and destroy or significantly alter through overpopulation. He gave us common sense. We need to use it.
