Mood: Have Baja Fever

I am not claiming to be an expert at climate... I was alive in 2010 and clearly remember these photos.

I am making a simple observation... that rain happens in global warming and global cooling. Lack of regular rain has plagued farmers in Baja since farming began in Baja.

Are you familiar with the Old Mill in San QuintiĆ­n? It was a wheat grinding mill that was going to produce so much wheat, they began building a railroad line to the U.S. to export it on. Then it didn't rain enough... This was over 100 years ago. It certainly isn't the first time there have been periods of little or no rain.

The world has warmed and cooled plenty of times without human activity and wet or dry periods, as well. The need to blame something should be to solve a problem. I don't think Mother Nature is a problem but I do think the apparent inability of (some) people to adapt or deal with Nature, is.

Everything around us is evolving at a change rate except for a sub species known as Homo Erectus.

The enterprise was a failure from the start. The Brits didn't do their homework. There was never enough rain to grow wheat in that area. The crops failed from the start. They purchased the land in the 1880's and abandoned it all by 1900. There was never enough rainwater to grow wheat when they were there and nor since they left.
