Apparently, you believe I am making these things up. Apparently you aren't aware of the evaporating reservoirs. Not only in the west, but in many other places as well. Atlanta is facing severe water shortages because their reservoirs aren't being replenished by normal rains. They are on the verge of rationing.

Undoubtedly, though, these things--evaporating reservoirs, increasing desertification, melting glaciers, thawing tundras, record heat in a number of parts of the world--each have causes other GW. And even if they don't, GW will be good for us. And even if it isn't, we can't do anything about it anyway, it's all part a natural cycle--either sunspots, or the earth's orbit around the sun or cosmic rays or something.

Anything but humans using fossil fuels. God forbid it should be that. We might have to [gasp] change our habitual way of doing things....
