California Leaders Pretend Permanent Drought as State Wastes Rain & Drowns in Cyclical Floods

Unbelievably, CA's nine-in-a-row storms delivered no less than 35 trillion gallons of water which mostly ran back to the sea in this drought-infested land. So a natural disaster exposed another man-made debacle. Consider, how politicians refused to upgrade state infrastructure while keeping their population in perpetual ignorance and slavery under the disproved myth of Global Warming.

CA received 24 trillion gallons of water in the 16 days after Christmas, ergo – adding another 10 trillion in the last 7 days is a no brainer. So, the Pineapple Express just dropped over CA, 35 trillion gallons. In urban areas and coastal cities, 80% ends up diverted into the ocean. Fascinatingly, one writer in 2022 predicted: A megaflood could bring over 8 feet of water to parts of California. And also snow: Axios states: "The massive amounts of heavy snow from the parade of storms have resulted in a statewide snowpack average of 251% for Jan. 17. Winter snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains provides water supplies during the dry season"

This is perverse, cruel, and a horrific lie perpetuated against the CA people

Yet, these storms were so large they made a mockery out of the cult belief California is in perpetual drought, as Yale argues. For the most simplistic Los Angeleno realizes that more water than their state could use in a year probably fell in a few weeks. But pompous ideologues repeatedly stated this flooding could NOT solve the drought. See: California storms likely won't make a big dent in drought. Why? Because this doesn't fit into the Malthusian/Global Warming belief that the earth is cooking itself to death because of human greed, capitalism and ignorance.

For example, see California Drought: New research ties specific extreme weather events to climate change: "The megadrought gripping the American West has generated the driest two decades in the region in at least 1,200 years, and human-caused climate change has fueled the proble." Yet, we know CA's problem is not technically droughts, but a simple failure to use what nature provides over the whole state. Further, by embracing the self-pitying Global Warming fable, these obdurate humanists refuse to gather in water already provided by the trillions of gallons. This is perverse, cruel, and a horrific lie perpetuated against the CA people. 

And so, had CA simply, methodically built capacity and captured more water, CA would not be announcing a drought every few years & demanding folks conserve. But even when paid for by the billions, water projects were not done. See: "In 2014, California voters approved $7.12 billion in bonds for state water supply infrastructure projects. Of that, $2.7 billion was designated for water storage projects. But nearly 8 years later, there are no new dams or reservoirs, or other water storage projects to collect/store California's winter runoff."

See California Has Had the Same Water Infrastructure Since the 1960s: 

"Sen. Feinstein said California has…"the same water infrastructure from when we were 16 million people." It was around 1960 when California's population hovered at the 16 million mark. California is now home to nearly 40 million people. California's core water conveyance and storage infrastructure was designed more than a half century ago. It was in the late 1950s and early 1960s that construction began on the State Water Project—a massive set of reservoirs, aqueducts and pumping plants that store and deliver water up and down the state to 25 million Californians. The backbone of the project, including Lake Oroville and the California Aqueduct, was finished in the 1960s and early 1970s."

California is under the thrall of a political/scientific cult

Once the Golden State had it all figured out, but now CA is behind the times, becoming increasingly cruel. See: Despite California's long drought, trillions of gallons of rainwater wastefully flowing into sea. "The State handled previous droughts in 1976 & 1988. But, the last five-year drought, from 2012 to 2016, brought a 25% mandatory reduction in urban use. Crops died, farmers went out of business and then-Gov. Jerry Brown proposed fining residents $10,000 a day for wasting water." See Does drought-prone California need another reservoir? YES!! & 8 trillion fell in 2021.

The current drought is experienced in a state that stopped doing water infrastructure at half the population – 16 million – then it has now – 40 million. CA desperately needs more water capacity, highlighted by these sky river storms. See Politico:  "To many, the storms highlight the need for changes to the vast system to capture rain and snow in the wetter northern part of the state and transfer it to the farms of the Central Valley and the cities of Southern California. Much of the recent runoff has ended in the sea, even as forecasters warn that the drought is not yet over." 

So, in a nutshell, CA is under the thrall of a political/scientific cult. It has doubled its population since its last reservoir was dug, 40 years ago. Yet, if CA had simply kept a modest pace of building new water storage and improving the old, there would be NO DROUGHTS in CA. 

And so we understand: that CA's reaction to the issue of water scarcity is:

1. Pretend there's a permanent crisis;
2. Do nothing concrete about it;
3. Demagogue and politicize the issue;
4. Adapt to the past methods instead of updating them; & 
5. Try to show that this all proves that we're here on Earth dying and there's nothing that can be done except adapt to our shrinking resources.
