John Cole over at Balloon Juice asks: “Does anyone have anything even remotely approaching what could be called a plan for when California runs out of water next year? Other than having ignorant ass James Inhofe hand carry snowballs there, of course.”
No, annexing Oregon won’t help. Because of the lay of the land, so to speak, the way the mountains surround us, other than the Klamath River it is physically impossible to syphon water off from Oregon to California. And that would be damned diffecult.
It’s one of the things that define Cascadia.
I again just the other day suggested a twenty-first century variation of Pascal’s Wager: If I am wrong, if the climate is not changing, the world not warming to in-habitability in my grand-childrens’ generation, I don’t lose a bloody damned thing. If you, the denier, are wrong, we all lose, our grand-children lose, the only world we know of we can live on. End of the road, way of the dinosaurs… extinction. You want to take that bet?
