" So its warming for you and cooling for everywhere else ? " No; did you make it this far? It's the second sentence. "The rest of the world had the hottest Dec-Jan-Feb ever." In case you forget, the rest of the world had its hottest Jan-Dec way back in 2014.

"The drought is what it is.. a result of horrific voter stupidity. Keep building zero water projects" Raygun killed the last dam project. Proto-teabaggers killed the last water project (until last year) in '82. Horrific voter stupidity works for me. That, and failure to precipitate. The tax revolt lives By Dick Barrett, July 8, 1982 One significant result of the California primary election on June 8 that seems to have gone virtually unnoticed in the nation's press was the affirmation that the tax revolt still lives, two years after the adoption of Proposition 13 drastically reducing property taxes, and at a time when its full effect is being felt. There are daily reports in the papers of libraries closing or limiting hours, suspension of recreation programs, and even reductions in the areas of public health and safety... The question of cost was also a factor in the defeat of the controversial Peripheral Canal project to facilitate the transport of more northern California water to the south, opponents claiming the figure would be closer to $19 billion than the $5.4 billion estimate of the proponents. csmonitor.com
