I don't think it matters what is...Not really. I don't think it matters what is causing our drought, if anything. What matters is that we have one. Even if CA wee to take every step possible to prevent climate change recommended by those (and fairly, the majority) who believe it, it would not have a significant enough impact to matter. Which doesn't mean we shouldn't take steps where we can, to conserve and reduce pollution …<br /><br />But you missed the easy point to slam him on: now that the gas tax, per gallon, has had the desired impact of getting people to choose more fuel efficient cars, the Democrats now want to change it t a per mile driven tax … which would have the opposite effect.maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-35002420185310952552015-03-24T09:50:03.513-07:002015-03-24T09:50:03.513-07:00You dodge the point that NOAA says that global war...You dodge the point that NOAA says that global warming is *not* causing our drought.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-60542040098407814822015-03-23T22:47:32.017-07:002015-03-23T22:47:32.017-07:00I'm not even going to argue about climate chan...I'm not even going to argue about climate change … because my position is and will continue to be that it doesn't matter whether we're causing a change -- we should still be doing REASONABLE things to develop renewable energy and reduce waste and emissions. But … if you don't think the drought is the most pressing problem in California right now? You're not looking hard enough. For three years, we've been saying, "Oh, I'm sure it will rain next year," and we've been wrong every time. Read Dan Walter's column in the Sac Bee from Sunday, if you haven't already. And he is hardly a liberal. As to Cruz? I agree with a lot of his positions … but I don't like him. There's something wrong there.maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-8721542037129462462015-03-22T23:13:54.847-07:002015-03-22T23:13:54.847-07:00Wow...it's like he's a science denier or s...Wow...it's like he's a science denier or something...<br />Poor California...My birthstate, which we left when I was very young.
