I will if you point me to where it is.

Paul, in my thread on CA"s drought in the California forum I posted a NYTImes article with the following piece of information:

BEGINNING about 1,100 years ago, what is now California baked in two droughts, the first lasting 220 years and the second 140 years.

And you made a comment in it. Did you post without reading? (I do sometimes... )

Anyway, my point is, the current drought we are in literally pales in comparison to what this region has experienced in the not to distant past...and when CO2 levels were WELL below the safe level of 350 ppm.

Like it, or not, Southern California is part of the Sonoran desert. We do get droughts. We also get El Nino conditions at times. The Hollywood version of SoCAl being a tropical island is not reality.

Just pointing out that claims that this few-year drought are "signs of things to come from human induced climate change" are questionable giving the recent past history.

Not yet. The "thing of the past" [snow] is on the ground in 49 states as of this posting...




15 years ago, the NYTimes thought it was the end of cold winters.








Irony,

How the intellectually superior enlightened left views climate skeptics:

Conservatives think Liberals are wrong, while Liberals think Conservatives are Evil or Dumb.

I know there are exceptions, but it seems to me that is the most prevalent phenomenon.
