  1.  @JackHawkinswrites  The region of the Klamath River on the California/Oregon border was formerly called the Everglades of the west because it was such a rich environment. There is no desert in this part of the country. In fact most of California is NOT desert!! Look at a map once in a while!

  2. This video is about northern California and southern Oregon through which the Klamath River flows. This is not a desert. Historically it has been a rich habitat with plentiful precipitation. Now climate change is worsening drought that in the past was transient. Drought has become deeper and more entrenched throughout the west. The entire southwest is seeing worsening drought, warming temperatures and this is making forest fires worse. Farmers are seeing a loss of their life style quite suddenly. The next decade or so could be a major turning point for this part of the country. We can still move to a more healthy reality for everyone, but right now we are moving in the wrong direction.

  4. It's true there are too many people. But this video is not about those in Las Vegas, Nevada or Phoenix, Arizona. This video is about the California/Oregon where the Klamath River used to provide for numerous tribes in a region formerly known as the Everglades of the west. Then farming was allowed to prosper through damming of the Klamath to and the livelihood of the native peoples.. Now drought is devasting farming in a way that it has never before. That is the problem.

  5. Jeez, if you want a graph, a model a data set or whatever else you want, but don't see here go look for it!! After all there are tons of other videos on this subject on Youtube!! This is not that kind of video anyway. Accept it for what it is and move on already.

  6. Because the future is not yet written and human beings have through history continued to stand up against over whelming odds and continued on. We define ourselves BY standing up and facing the music! We are cowards if we sit down and give up. I'm sure that you will stand up when you recognise that you won't be alone!!

  7. @Andrew. We really need a major effort comparsble to preparing for WWII however many people still do not or will not recognise the existential threat to all of us. If you research the subject as I and many others have done then you will be even more convinced of the threat that global poses. And I feel I need to continue to upgrade my own understanding to counter critics, skeptics, deniers and to simply help educate others.

  8. The region where northern California meets Oregon is NOT a desert. Go look at a map once in a while! This area normally gets 40+ inches of rainfall per year. But this drought is so serious that it is changing everything.

  9. A lot and perhaps even most of this conflict is due to the US through NATO pushing the expansion of NATO toward Russia. This is something the US officials said many years ago would not happen. Russia is feeling that its western frontier to closing in on it. Unless and until Russia's concerns are validated by the west the tensions will only increase until something triggers another outbreak in fighting. Ukraine is caught in the middle of this mess and only sees Russian aggressions as the major problem there. imo As an American I am again disgusted with the inability of these world powers (especially the US) to see eye to eye.

  10. And who is still alive after five minutes?

  11. Wherre did you get the idea this is desert? Just because it's in California?? The only desert is the eastern edge of the state with Nevada and inland southern California where the Mojave Desert and other deserts are located. This video is about the California/Oregon border which has historically gotten at least average precipitation. 40+ inches per year. The issue is the drought which has taken hold throughout the southwest.
