During the blizzard in New York State this past winter, people said "global warming HA, I wish" Will these same numb nuts admit that global warming (global climate change, as I prefer) is happening now that it is officially as hot as hell down here. In South Georgia, many places hit 90 today. Due to a nasty drought, we also have a huge forest fire that has destroyed 82K acres and growing. We have not had "measurable rain" in I can't remember how long. We also are not supposed to be watering our house except on certain days for even numbered houses and the others house numbers on the other days. The drainage pond near my place is the lowest that I can remember as well.
Also, what should I do to the people who run their sprinklers for hours on end to water their sad lawns? My dad just planted a bunch of stuff and commented that he needs to run his sprinklers for the next few days. When it comes to water rationing, no one here pays attention. Either that or they choose to ignore the laws that are meant "for everybody else but me". And yes, my car is dirty because I cannot/will not wash it while water remains in such tight supply and high demand.
Call Australia and ask them how their water supply is doing.
We need to shift away from green grass lawns and begin to focus on vegetation (or decoration) that thrives in little/no water. If my front yard bushes die, I will replace them with sand and a rock garden.
