wow
 
Gee it happened 25 years ago, go figure!

The question is is it a 100 year drought and that would be really bad if it happening after only 25 years.





The answer is no. Look up the Grande Seca if you want to see a real drought. Over 400,000 died. Long before your so called AGW.....
 
According to paragraph five of the YAHOO report referenced in the OP post, the drought began two (2) weeks ago and has depleted the water supply in six of the ten (10) of the largest cities. :bsflag:
 
Drought in cities, geeze the crops must be really suffering...

Bolivia declares state of emergency due to drought, water shortage
Bolivia's government declared a state of emergency on Monday due to water shortages in large swaths of the country amid the worst drought in 25 years, making funds available to alleviate a crisis that has affected families and the agricultural sector.

Bolivia's Vice Ministry of Civil Defense estimated that the drought has affected 125,000 families and threatened 290,000 hectares (716,605 acres) of agricultural land and 360,000 heads of cattle.

President Evo Morales called on local governments to devote funds and workers to drill wells and transport water to cities in vehicles, with the support of the armed forces, from nearby bodies of water.

Geeze, someone must really be a dumb fuck if they think that a drought will only affect cities.

"We have to be prepared for the worst," Morales said at a press conference, adding that the current crisis was an opportunity to "plan large investments" to adapt to the effects of climate change on the country's water supply.

The national state of emergency comes after 172 of the country's 339 municipalities declared their own emergencies related to the drought.

Last week, residents of El Alto, near La Paz, briefly held authorities with a local water-distribution company hostage to demand the government explain its plans to mitigate the shortage.

The drought has prompted protests in major cities and conflicts between miners and farmers over the use of aquifers.

172 of the countries 339 municipalities. And six of the 10 largest cities. The drought hardly began just two weeks ago, it has to have been going on for quite a while.

wow
There's always a drought somewhere, Matthew.
 
So, if we are experiencing increasing number of droughts and extreme rainfall events, because we have had both before, it means nothing is happening. LOL Gotta love the intellect that kind of logic represents.

That's right. Weather is cyclical. I believe your problem is that you are experiencing confirmation bias. CO2 does not drive climate change, it reinforces climate change.
 


That is not what the past geological record tells us. CO2 does and has driven climate change several times in the geologic history of this planet.

No. It doesn't.

I believe that your problem is that you are just a flap yapper with negligible knowledge concerning AGW.
