Megadrought Predictions
If so, I imagine Baja will be considered to be in this general area (and I know, 90% of scientists could be wrong  ) :

I thought I saw a post a couple of months ago where DK said the drought was over?

report is brought to you by the same folks who can't accurately predict the weather next week....enjoy..

It's still early today....."someone" will surely discredit scientific research based on their "personal and anecdotal evidence".

It rained so hard in Northern California last week that in 5 days the level of Shasta Lake rose 12 vertical feet. Virtually nothing added to the
minimal snow pack. The Ski area is still closed again this year. I think that is why they call it climate CHANGE. My friend in New Hampshire hasn't
seen a day above freezing in a month. And so it goes....

No problem with this pic Doubters
A bleached "bathtub ring," the result of a six-year drought that has dramatically dropped the level of the reservoir, shows on red Navajo
sandstone formations near Last Chance Bay at Lake Powell near Page, Ariz. Lake Powell and the next biggest Colorado River reservoir, the nearly
100-year-old Lake Mead, are at the lowest levels ever recorded.

It seems to me we're spending a lot of time and money on a glass half empty. If there is a weather change in the future are there no benefits or just
the apocalypse. Why are there no up sides to the seeming(to some people)problem?
I\'ve been told I\'m preoccupied with Baja. They just don\"t understand, in fact neither do I.

And from the looks of average lake and river levels it's about to change

I remember that in the 70's, there was a theory put forth that we were already entering another 'Ice Age'. It was replaced with the evidence of
rising temperatures pointing to global warming!
If I remember the details correctly about the Ice Age theory, it would start by melting ice packs changing the track of the Gulf stream in the
Atlantic, and the Humboldt Current in the Pacific. That would then lead to earlier freeze up, and later thawing, longer winters and the ice moving
south.
I can hardly wait to turn 110 and see who got it right.
I am a believer in climate change, that is what it does!

Most of Baja and Alta Ca have been settled in the last 500 years. We will continue to look past history and do what ever we want anyway. Never in the
history of man have humans been able to sustain a large society, long term in a desert.

In investing circles, it has long (50 years plus) been predicted that WATER WARS will replace OIL WARS in the future.
Conclusion: Invest in all things "water" related.
Sounds reasonable to me.

water and send the salt to mars

"Our" priorities may not be inline with the wealthy. What if NASA is working toward a place for the wealthy to go and leave "us" here to tend the
coal mines? You know, like Malibu compared to south central or the Hamptoms vs Harlem.
