The Chief has a valid point about the the reservoirs. Most of Cali is a desert, unproductive without aqua engineering. If your good buddies in all the competing enviro destruction corps get their way all the damns will be removed and the hoses quenching your thirst in the rat race population centers severed. Don't worry though, you can get by for awhile recycling each others excrement and drug laced urine for sustenance. On any normal planet it just wouldn't make any sense, but then again it is california.

The Chief is an imbecile.
Ask anybody with a reason to know (like any fire chief)--we are in a friggin' drought.
Please go play with your toys The Chief, your foolishness shines too brightly here.
In other news, I found this very scary:
Released this morning, the IEA report shows carbon dioxide from energy emissions
rose 1.4 percent globally last year, a new record, and puts the world on pace
for a 5.3 degree Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit) rise in global temperatures by 2020.
That is a damn serious forecast...

Diane Rehm is discussing climate change on today's show. Should be on in a bit on the west coast.

You are the one who posted a pic of 2002, Chief. If you want top keep changing the year, go ahead.
We know what big snow years look like in the Sierras. You don't.

It shows the actual amounts for a big snow year, silly boy, and compares them to 2002, a low year you have a pic from.
Again, I'm not claiming anything about climate change and snow levels.
You started this by posting pics of the Sierra's. We know this is a low snow year, and so was the 2001-2002 season. Apparently you still don't.

monolith -- "We know what big snow years look like in the Sierras. You don't."
Coming from a guy who lives in the bay area.
You might want to reword that statement of yours.
How many big winters have you actually been present in the sierras during whole winters?
Yeah ... we get it.
You look at pictures and graphs and models to make deceptive statements such as "You don't"
Try spending a few BIG winters in the sierras digging and shoveling daily.
Warning -- this response has nothing to do with climate change ......

That comes under the category of 'climate change', Chief. Try to learn how averages work.

FACT:
We are well below average SWE in the Sierra.
The southern Sierra has been drier than 1977 since April.
The northern and central Sierra have been drier than 1977 since early May.
Conditions like that immediately after the second driest year since 1977 will have a significant impact on food production.
I would love to see Chaff tell a Texas cattle farmer or REAL central valley farmer that it isn't dry. I'm sure they will believe him... he was in the Navy.

LOL, Chief. You still don't get it. I never claimed low snow years was due to global warming.
Thanks for proving over and over, you can't recognize a low snow year, read a simple graph, or comprehend the written word.
