California: Dry Winter Is Apparent from Sierra Snowpack Photos from Space

Whenever Democrat 2020 candidates yap about America offering open borders to the world, it’s clear that they have never considered the environmental carrying capacity of our little space on the planet.

Unfortunately, California is a popular place for foreigners of varying legality to relocate which has given us more than 10 million foreigners as fellow […]

Drought-Prone, Overpopulated California Is Slow to Adopt Water Storage

Democrat-run California didn’t learn much from the recent five-year drought that left many reservoirs close to empty.

This year’s rainy season has seen the skies open up and dump incredible quantities of the wet stuff, which is always welcome in the drought-prone […]

Democrat-Run California Has Done Nothing to Store Water for a Future Drought

The front page of Wednesday’s Los Angeles Times had a truly dispiriting message, namely that just a couple years after a record drought, California has done nothing to store water during a rare rainy winter. In fact, much of the precious water is being dumped into the ocean with little attempt to capture it.

California’s Water Problems Continue as Depleted Groundwater Causes Subsidence and Canal Failure

Drought-plagued Cape Town Considers Importing an Iceberg to Increase Water Supply

To serious water worriers, the extreme drought situation in Cape Town South Africa has been a forecast of bad things to come in the overpopulated future. Regions with more people than their rainfall can support are at risk for water shortages, particularly when even alleged environmentalists like California Gov. Jerry Brown think additional millions of […]

Drought-Stricken Cape Town Limits Water to 13 Gallons Daily

Cape Town, South Africa, is on the brink of a drought disaster where the taps may literally run dry for a city of four million. Extreme conservation measures have pushed back the so-called “Day Zero” from March to perhaps a date later in the spring. The rainy season there starts in June, so hopes are […]

California Snowpack Report Suggests a Return to Drought

The winter rainy season is drawing to a close here in California, and it’s been disappointing. Nearly all of the state’s water comes from rain that falls from October through March, so water worriers (nearly all residents after the brutal five-year drought) are concerned. We were rescued by a near-record rainy season in 2016-17 but […]

Californians Worry about a Drought Resurgence

About half of Wednesday’s San Jose Mercury-News was dedicated to a report about drought in South Africa. The main headline — The City That Ran Out of Water — gets attention in northern California where a brutal five-year drought was broken last year by a very wet winter when the rains finally came. Now several […]
