Trump Tells California 'There Is No Drought'

Trump Tells California 'There Is No Drought'

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told California voters Friday that he can solve their water crisis, declaring, "There is no drought."

Speaking at a rally in Fresno, Calif., Trump accused state officials of denying water to Central Valley farmers so they can send it out to sea "to protect a certain kind of three-inch fish

Goddamn this guy hasn't a goddamn clue. The most extreme drought in califorina recorded history isn't a drought? He doesn't know what he is talking about and needs the services of a meteorologist. jesus fuck.

I think most of the problems in California center around intentional water mismanagement by Democraps.

I think that the opinions of our 'Conservatives' reflect the present disconnect between reality and the positions taken by the 'Conservatives'. Mr. Trump really went out on a limb with those statements. And every candidate in the Western states should use his statements against GOP candidate. Time for hardball.

The entire southwestern United States is considered semi-arid and/or desert. This means there is a limited amount of rainfall and this makes it less than favorable for human habitation in large numbers.

Thus, California is undergoing NORMAL WEATHER and thus Trump is right.

 

[Old Rocks]

Nobody has claimed that California, or most of it, is not desert or semi-arid. What has happened is that it has had far less rain and snow in the four years prior to this one than. If the Willemette Valley were to get California's normal amount of rain, it would be considered in drought. Were the Acama Desert to get the amount of rain that California has in the last four years prior to this one, it would be considered an abnormally wet period.

No, California is not undergoing normal weather, and Trump is just as wrong on this as he is on everything else. That you choose to defend him is a sad reflection on your character and ethics.

U.S. Average Precipitation State Rank

The delusional dimwit Trump tells California: "There is no drought"...

The United States Geological Survey says:

California Drought Facts

* California's currently in its fifth year of severe drought.

* California's 2015 and 2014 Water Years, which ended September 30, 2015 were the warmest years on record.

* 2014 was the third driest year on record.

* On January 17, 2014 California State Governor, Jerry Brown, declared a drought state of emergency.

Snowpack Status

* Although water year 2016's snowpack started off at 136 percent of normal as measured on December 30, 2015, as of March 1, 2016, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) measured the statewide snowpack to be at 83 percent of normal for this date, the result of moderate precipitation and relatively warm temperatures.

* On April 1, 2015, DWR measured the statewide water content of Sierra snowpack at five percent of average for April 1st. These levels are lower than any year in records going back to 1950. The April 1st snowpack measurement is crucial because this is when the snowpack is normally at its peak and begins to melt into streams and reservoirs. Snowpack, through runoff, provides about one-third of the water used by California's cities and farms.

How much rain do deserts get?

How much blood does your brain get, JustCrazy? You are obviously experiencing a prolonged and severe shortage!

California receives over 22 inches of rain per year on average....which is about the same as Alaska and Nebraska, and just a bit less than Oregon, Kansas and Minnesota.....it is way more than the average rainfall in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming.

Are ALL of those states also "deserts" In your private little addlepated delusional world?

They have to have doom and gloom

 

[Crick]

The drought has been caused by record precipitation shortfalls. Its consequences may have been affected by water management decisions, but it was most certainly NOT caused by them.

Sure

 

[Crick]

Big surprise for you jc. It DOES rain in the AmericanSouthwest. The area has a finite, average annual rainfall. For the last four years, rainfall there has been much less than average. That creates a drought. Do you disagree or has your lack of real arguments left you only with the puerile snideness you demonstrate above?

 

[Esmeralda]

Propaganda 101

 

[Old Rocks]

Trump has that down pat. And people like Ryan and McConnell are just now realizing the damage that Trump is doing to the GOP. Since they were integral in creating the situation in which someone like Trump could get this far, I hope that they are finally realizing that, also.

 

[skookerasbil]

LOL.......progressives have one goal: take the country into the toilet. When they do, they win. The uninformed don't get that if things get bad enough and more and more people do on to government assistance, there is no more need for elections, is there? Why are progressives so giddy about nailing everybody with a carbon tax? Because it takes all parties further into the toilet. Its one of the pillar of the concept of grinding down America. These people want everybody in the toilet.......a totally level playing field. To a person, they possess a tragic view of society.....that the people need the government to keep society equitable. They see freedom as a negative. They want every American driving a SMARTFORTWO. They want every American paying more taxes. They want open borders not for any humanitarian reason ( duh ).......they want open borders so all minorities vote for Democrats, thus making elections obsolete.( duh ).

Go read Plato...........Hobbes...........More..........Hagel..............

If that's the world you want to live in, then God Bless.

It makes the southwest a desert. DOH!!!!!

Is it a desert or not? How do you supposed an area becomes a desert? I didn't think you'd know that answer.

I think that it is probably you Matthew who doesn't have a clue....take a look around California....see any of the native flora or fauna dying of thirst? I haven't seen any reports of it...they are adapted to live in that climate...when they start dying off due to lack of water, then there is a drought...and not before.

Warmers are wackos....if you want to know whether a geographical area is experiencing a drought, you look at the native plants and wildlife...when they start dying off due to lack of water or food, then there is a drought...not before. The native plants and animals of California are doing just fine....it is the imports who are having a tough time adapting to the natural conditions of a desert....

I love trump

He certainly knows how to get under their skin..... Using fact based data..

There's no drought?

You Republicans are unbelievable. The water problems in California center around a lack of rain/snow, not your imaginary enemies.

Yeah, the "imports" like most of the fresh produce and fruit in this country? California is our garden, bud. I'd worry a bit if I were you.
