“This particular year is as clear an indication of the influence of climate change as anything we’ve seen,” said Peter Gleick, a leading water scientist and co-founder of the Pacific Institute. “Climate change is influencing California’s water system quickly and severely.”

    Yawns… After 50+ years of hearing this same shit year after year, someone tell me why the rest of California cannot bring itself to be as water conscious and self sufficient as San Diego county?

    Just build some desal plants and urban reservoirs already, knucklefucks in Scrotumento need to shutup and act.

      Theres plenty of water in most of Northern California with the exception of some coastal areas. There’s never going to be enough water for Los Angeles because they are growing faster than they secure new water or conserve their water per capita.

        LA has the goddamned ocean on one side and the San Bernardino mountains on the other. There’s easily a dozen options available today between those two to give 100% of Angelinos water, don’t be silly.

          They’re starting to drink their own toilet water just like San Diego too. For ocean desalination to meet their needs it would have to go along with a nuclear power plant. Actually nuclear desalination sounds bad ass - steam distillation of sea water and molten sea salt allowed to cool into bricks.
