Yeah, I could just see the headline: “Wildfires Sweep Orange County; Whitehouse Calls in Military to Fight Them”
Has the smoke made it over the Grapevine yet? I know that the whole Central Valley has been put on air quality alert.
I’m pretty sure it’s something like this:
All that water wasted.
I’m not so sure that it’s wasted. According to the article, the river is being allowed to reach the sea in an attempt to revive the estuary, which has great economic value for the area.
The fishermen deserve equal consideration to the farmers. It’s a balancing act between the two.
Regardless, it’s not really evident how water being used for farming or fishing would have prevented some of the largest and most powerful forest fires ever recorded.
This is a case of using a fact to distort the truth, taking advantage of ignorance.
Obama MUST be The Devil to have caused that! Damn him!
Clearly a liberal plot to deprive the conservative Californians of water.
We must deprive the Pacific Ocean of its essence. California must retain its precious bodily fluids.
In all fairness to the Trump administration, there have been signs in dry Central Valley fields decrying the lack of water since before Obama was elected. Except for the new twist about fighting files, Trump is merely riding an old horse he found.
Edit: What Yllaria said.
Here’s a local news article about Trump’s views on California water politics, with statements from people who know their ass from a hole in the ground (unlike the Author of the Tweet).
I’m just surprised that he isn’t saying that this is the cause of rising sea levels.
This is what you get when you have a prezident who thinks that the water cycle is supposed to go through a Russian hooker’s kidneys.
There are also farmers in the delta. The falling price of imported asparagus has been giving them fits. Adding in salinated irrigation water would help them not at all.
Dolt45’s lingering football butthurt flares up again:
Maybe he can figure out a way to deport them.
IKEA is not interested, they have this horrible burr up their collective ass about the wood being from “environmentally sound sources”, but with more umlauts.
There he goes, projecting again.
I wonder how many thousands of years it would take Trump to realize that if cops stopped being so trigger happy with regards to black people, and were held accountable when they were out of line that the players would stop kneeling during the anthem all by themselves.
There are huge considerations here, beyond the estuary. Remember those floods last year? The whole delta is a mish mash of old levies and weird constructs that artificially re-route water. One thing that is being done with the water now is to try and rebuild the natural delta, which could then act as a flood barrier for vulnerable communities. Similar to the way that marsh land near New Orleans and other southern coastal communities used to work. The estuaries are also non-trivial, but I’ll get off my soap box.
The man is an ignorant buffoon.
Trump has ordered NOAA to take over water distribution in California to divert water use to fire fighting (which the fire fighters say they don’t need) so it won’t go to endangered species protection.
