gravity waves was predicted by Einstein, but only recently confirmed. Hocus pocus?
OTOH, Black holes have never been observed directly, yet science has a pretty strong base of evidence that they do exist. Do you agree?

Yes, John, I agree... and as I ask again, CAN anyone PLEASE post any predictions from the Global Warming (renamed Climate Change, because the globe
wasn't warming) alarmists that have come true???
I agree the climate changes, but I know it is from NATURAL causes, as it has been for 4+ billion years.
Why some now think that man has become more powerful than God or Nature and can change or reverse the natural trend of climate is what I find crazy.
I am all for cleaner everything but it should be for all countries to do, not just Western Democracies or just the U.S., why does China get a pass?
Bankrupting a nation over a 'religion' and not facts is crazy. Yes, a religion, as it is based on the need to believe something that can't be
proven... and that is that mankind changed a climate rather than an action of Nature.
I think the United States has done a lot more to clean up industry and transportation than anyone else with economies or populations our size. To keep
punishing us with restrictions and taxing us more is an insane method to motivate one to do good, is it not?

I love this (even though it kills my irrigation income) because it silences the doom and gloom voices that we are in a "dangerous global warming,
man-made drought"! LOL...
Every 5-10 years, we have a heavy rain season... I still have the photos from 2010 when all the Hwy. 1 bridges were washed out (San Vicente, Colonia
Guerrero, El Rosario).
The point is that it is NORMAL and NATURAL to have 5 or more dry years in a row, followed by a really wet year. The earth is in balance. We may not
like it and some will try and profit from the fear they create from those with short memories.
Enjoy the rain... and remember that we will have 5 or more drought years after this year... so keep installing low-water-use plants and drip
irrigation (or low-volume) MP Rotator sprinklers! |
Tell all this BS to the States now having to give up Lake Mead water. You have no clue. http://mead.uslakes.info/level.asp

Why is it that you think you are the only one with facts,,,especially ones that are derived through age instead of study.

Speaking of the lake.
How are we in SoCal and Baja (norte) doing in regards to filling the reservoirs and aquafers?
Any flooding at the Baja bridges like a few years ago?

I have often wondered why the US government doesn't lay pipes east to west that would carry water from who ever has a lot to an area that doesn't.
With all the flooding from the hurricanes and rain places like Mead could use some. I remember a few years ago Georgia was in a drought and out west
there was lots of water. Just push it back and forth as needed. They do it with oil and gas now do it with water.

I recall it being explained pretty well in the book Cadillac Desert. It was a lot more expensive and difficult that you would realize. The
amounts of water needed are almost unimaginable when put in perspective.

It takes a River!
Seriously, San Diego is fed using pipes... GIANT pipes to supplement the local lakes and desal plants.

IF it made Sense .................
............. It would have been Done. Or, at least, seriously considered.
Beyond the fact that it would require the political will among a host of State governments, the
infrastructure costs beginning with storage facilities would be astronomical.
Extensive reservoirs, (long-distance) pipelines and pumping networks for a product with uncertain territorial availability or demand
at any given time.
Given the difficulties and controversy encountered for enhancing storage and distribution within our own state that we've witnessed,
it should be instantly apparent that the obstacles facing any such multi-state project would be unattainable even IF the economics made sense. And,
they don't.

Is there anyway to know the actual water situation in Baja. Government, University, etc... reports on ground water, snow pack that kind of stuff.
It's soaking wet here in Newport Beach Ca.
So logic says Baja is getting wet too.

Mammoth Mountain, CA: "Heavy snowfall picked up again last night dropping another 21" at Main Lodge and over 36" at the summit bringing our current
storm total to about 7-10 feet! Main Lodge is closed today due to blizzard conditions and town chain controls are now R3 which requires ALL vehicles
to be chained. Snow is extremely deep, be safe and do not ride alone."

The elephant trees are in this state here now at Asuncion. I’ve been photographing them. Those aren’t yellow flowers but yellow leaves that are
about to fall off. The trees are getting prepared for the hot summer as trees lose leaves in anticipation of winter in the temperate climates.

David K is arguing the Standard oil argument from the Regan era, the lies they told Ronald and the public. Second childhood? Does not remember what
he ate for breakfast, but remembers 1981 like it was this morning?
In 1907 they had electric cars that could go 125 miles on a charge and do 25 mph. Standard oil bought the paten to stop it. In 1997 Tesla said the
technology was patented and could not use it.
¨A patent is a form of intellectual property. A patent gives its owner the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, and importing an
invention for a limited period of time, usually twenty years. The patent rights are granted in exchange for an enabling public disclosure of the
invention.¨
David feels guilt from the problems he, they, caused, so he lies to himself about the weather.
