ANSWER: If you currently live in California, leave. If you are fortunate enough not to live in California, count your blessings and don’t go there. Don’t even visit the state. Those people are nuts!

OPEN CLIMATE LETTER TO UN SECRETARY-GENERAL: Current scientific knowledge does not substantiate Ban Ki-Moon assertions on weather and climate, say 125-plus scientists.

Per former Fresno Mayor Autry: “It is an act of domestic terror!”
Really? Read between the lines – this man is involved in the biggest water scam in history – entailing annihilation of various property owners, illegal takeover of property and assets to continue the water scam he denies taking place. Behind the upcoming high-speed rail. Big plans for CA!!!

CA central valley’s water scam began 60+ yrs ago. Cities rebuilt on top of secretly replaced, redirected water systems. Title companies altering parcel maps to match new layouts; historic aerial views altered; old books reprinted with new “vintage” photos.
CA’s “water shortage spokesman” Alan Autry (aka: former Fresno Mayor aka: “Bubba Skinner”) not only lying to the public about our water system, he used our justice system to back up perjury to deny what is taking place.

Boy, lots of comments here. Let’s remember that Cynthia Barnett is nothing more than an experienced journalist with a background almost totally uninformed by any knowledge of science or engineering. Thank God the author got some experts like Bob Johnson — he ended his 30+ year engineering career as the Commissioner of the US Bureau of Reclamation — to comment because this usually rarely happens.

To make a judgement about the complex issue of water policy based on a “ring” around the waterline of Lake Mead illustrates a complete lack of the necessary understanding of hydrology or even the history of Lake Mead and the operation of Hoover Dam. As an example, in 1983 after several years of drought, the spillways at both Glen Canyon Dam and Hoover had to be run open for weeks to make sure that enough water was drained from the watershed to allow for the unusual runoff expected from the winter snows. To believe that we will see ever diminishing amount of rainfall and snow in our Western future is to belive in global warming or some other such ecological mythology.

And about that tunnel/canal system around the Delta; it is my studied opinion that the issue will be resolved politically only when a disaster occurs such as a severe earthquake with destroys the levee and dike system enough to inunindate the two fresh water pumping plants at Tracy. I believe that is the only circumstance which presents itself strongly enough to allow progress to be made on a structural fix on the Delta. Until then, we will be forced to stand around and listen — if we choose to — a lot of groups with an axe to grind in their attempt to position themselves to “win”. There will be no “winning” in this issue. It’s more a case to determine how much pain will occur when the decision is left to nature.
