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 […]

California Power Company Unplugs Customers to Protect Its Profits

Here in northern California on Wednesday morning, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has turned off power to hundreds of thousands of customers because of weather forecasts showing wildfire-producing high winds. Its spokes-minions have been appearing on media, portraying the company as sympathetic to rate-payers and concerned about their safety.

Plus, the power outage could last […]

Tucker Carlson Observes that Red China Now Promotes Population Growth

Introduced in 1979, China’s one-child policy was seen abroad as an overreach of communist government controlling the people, even though that nation has basic resource problems that should have brought environmental limits more gently into the public conversation.

One memorable example of overpopulation was the government’s reallocation of Beijing-area water for the 2008 Summer Olympics […]

Tucker Carlson Asks: Why Don’t Liberals Care about Immigration-Fueled Overpopulation and the Environment Any More?

It once was the case that at least some liberals supported immigration limits because of the harmful effects of excess population on the environment as a primary reason. But many have forgotten because politics have become more important than preserving the nation’s natural resources that support life.

For example, California’s severe five-year drought from 2011 […]

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

Water supply continues to be a worrisome thing in California, where the memory of the historic five-year drought remains strong. Now we learn that the drought plus overuse of groundwater has caused so much subsidence in the Central Valley that a large stretch of a gravity-run canal no longer works.

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 […]

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 […]

C-SPAN Devotes Three Hours to Immigration

I happened to click on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal viewer call-in show this morning (Wednesday, 1/3) and discovered the whole three hours was about immigration — it was an immersive experience.

The first hour was dedicated to calls from three categories of immigrants only — illegal aliens, those here for fewer than five years and residents […]

Foreign Flood into America Hits New High

We shouldn’t be surprised that the anti-American President Obama’s last year brought a record level of foreigner influx, as a major part of his destruction derby against the United States. He disapproves of the American people — particular the conservative ones — and used his presidency to overwhelm the traditional culture demographically and import a […]

Housing Costs in California Continue to Surge

California remains a popular place to live, where millions from around the world have come to experience the moderate climate, excellent restaurants and easy going law enforcement.

In fact, 27 percent of the state’s population is foreign born as of 2016 according to the Census.

But California’s popularity has caused a huge crunch in affordable […]

Does Overpopulated California Face Long-Term Drought?

Here in California, the lack of precipitation during this year’s fall-winter rainy season is already prompting worries of another terrible drought. So Tuesday’s headlines warning about climate change in the polar region leading to endemic drought in California were chilling.

The Los Angeles Times had a well illustrated front-page article.

Last year’s rains were […]
