Yes, droughts have occurred before. Yes, they've been bad. Really bad. This one has just begun. Time will tell how bad it will get. So, I guess because they occurred before, we should just dismiss it. So what if Atlanta dries out? After all, it's just one city in one state. We've got lots of cities, we can write off one. Oh, right, we've already written off New Orleans. Well, that's OK, we can write off two cities. What the hey....

But the point to the article was that it isn't just happening in GA or the southeast. And not just in the southwest. But in many parts of the world at the same time. At what point would it become a crisis in your mind?

You guys really are pretty remarkable. You take each single piece of evidence and say it's cyclical. Or that one is due to the wind. Or this other one is due to xyz. But you absolutely refuse to put it all together. It really is remarkable.
