Global Frackdown
"The Global Frackdown is an international day of action initiated by Food & Water Watch to ban fracking —a risky technique that uses millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals to break open rock formations deep underground to release oil and gas. The oil and gas industry has spent millions of dollars on slick public relations campaigns and high-profile lobbying efforts to buy the ability to extract fossil fuels from our communities with as little government oversight as possible, all while destroying our air, water, health, communities and our climate.

While the industry is working hard to protect its profits and drown out the worldwide demand for clean, renewable fuels, there is a tremendous movement afoot around the world to protect our global resources from fracking."

I wonder how much this will affect the vicious cycle. How will it actually be done along with the complete stopping of fossil fuel use and slash and burn agriculture, to stop the thermal event. Clearly, greed and stupidity will go on, unless the population crashes by 2024, either by geologic events or economic depression, and/or warfare.

Here's some more bad news:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-03-1 ... water-left

I think in 2004** I said that CA would have the choice in ten years of flushing their toilets or letting the farmers grow their crops. About three years ago they chose to screw the farmers and let the increasing population keep flushing until they starve, I guess.
Back in the wild west days, water was fought over to the deaths of many. It will happen again with escaping Californians overloading every place they go.
I used the USGS info to tell Castro, Texas they will be out of water by 2018, and the perimeter of the Ogallala is and has been shrinking inward for a number of years. They said the aquifer will be gone by 2040, without allowing for more evap loss from CAGW. So it will be before, that 70 big cities lose their water supply, along with the entire breadbasket of the US. That alone could trigger crash/collapse. Too late to stop CAGW, if it isn't too late already.

And so this saga continues

http://www.climatecentral.org/news/afte ... -dry-18562

We have friends in So.Cal, and the news they tell us is not good. Life and food growing in that area will change drastically this year without signifgant precipitation through 2015.

Some people actually think there is no link between this and climate change? Do they ever go outside ?
As climate patterns change they seem to get into longer ond longer term static periods of either one extreme or another, the jet is not behaving as it did for most of the past century. Where we live spring and fall have shifted to aproximately 3 weeks later than what we always considered normal, we now get months of zero precip followed by weeks of deluge. This is making dryland agriculture a huge challenge.
Maybe the Cal. situation really is just a harbinger of what lies ahead for many of us very soon?
