  1. @The Singing Janitor No. We get most of our water from Sierra snowmelt, ground water, and northern California water reserves. It only accounts for the desert regions of the south for water. Lastly, if you want to nag on who consumes the most from that river, get on Arizona’s case and Las Vegas as they use way more than us.

  2.  @thesingingjanitor1850  Moving those areas or moving to those areas? Most California who move are moving outside of cities for cheaper rural areas and inland cities like Sacramento. Though even then, are you going to suggest that my state be forced to provide Arizona and Nevada with our snowmelt and rainforest water? What about people from other states including Texas who move to those states? For taking responsibility, why doers them being a California matter in the first place? Secondly, entirely anecdotal and from my experience, we are really not much different other than being more educated and actually being more responsible resource wise. Third, this drought is extending beyond California and is hitting Texas and numerous other states really hard right now. You should take concern with those states and their resource management as well. No kidding that it isn't one population's fault. Hence, makes no sense to go on about merely one population of a state. For Los Angeles, they do indeed use a significant amount of it, but it would survive without it. We have more than enough from Northern California which is only 40% of the state population and even now with the drought, some smaller ones are actually more full right now than usual in the central Sierra Nevada. Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico are the states that should really be worried if it dries up. For burning to ashes, when? Wildfires are a natural occurrence here and the redwoods actually survive better with wildfire due to the thick bark on the trees and the wildfires killing the other plants taking up nutrients. In that sense, we are pretty fine. The main issue with the wildfires though is that they are unusually big and longer lasting. They are also happening in areas where they are not supposed to happen frequently like the rainforests we have here, and it is a problem going as far north as Alaska.

  3. Why do you care?

  4. The climate change is pushing that high farther north and longer. It is also why the people in Washington and Oregon have been getting much more intense heatwaves lately.
