>Ever heard of the Boxer,Pelosi,Reid man/woman created drought???
Let's see now . . . . for the last 10-15,000 years (at least) the southern San Joaquin Valley has been dry and arid, close to being a desert, particularly in summer and fall. The desret-like conditions, the dust bowl, existed for all this time, but agribusiness moved in a scant 130 years ago.
Irrigation systems and agribusiness are man-made, artificial. In the 1920s a soil geologist wrote a report on the area which said the naturally occurring selenium content of the soils made it not advisable to establish irrigated agriculture in the area, but agribusiness went ahead anyway, with the toxic irrigation wastewater at Kesterson Wildlife Preserve being the result. Ever hear of the proposed San Luis Drain?
But no, you're right, it's all the Boxer-Pelosi-Feinstein caba's' fault; agribusniess is pure as the driven snow (and it's not not Reid, at least according to the signs on I-5 in the Taft/Maricopa area).
