I’m with you Kelly. Not much we can do about it except adapt, especially when everything we in the US do hurts us while the rest of the world laughs at us and continues to operate to diminish us. And climate history shows droughts within the past 2000 years were cyclical. Chaco Canyon provides a lesson in how severe persistent drought caused the indigenous natives to abandon their homes forever. As recently as the 1940’s natural climate change following the dust-bowl years of the 1930’s provided full dams in the southwest such that Elephant Butte overflowed. That cycle will repeat regardless of what man does.
(BTW, see todays Nation Weather Service discussion on the early arrival of the monsoons that I posted earlier.)
