Could you maybe splash some of that water up to the Western U.S?

Yahoo!: "Drought in the Great Plains and Midwest is getting more intense, federal report shows"

Quote:

“While the recent rapid intensification of drought has been most prominent across the Midwest, severe drought has persisted for up to two years across portions of the Missouri River Basin/Great Plains,” NIDIS noted.

The Midwest is not the only region in the country experiencing long-running drought. Much of the West is in the grip of a 22-year drought that is causing water levels in reservoirs on the Colorado River to drop to what the United Nations Environment Programme described in August as “dangerously low levels.”

Agreed.

It was not my intent to upset you. I thought this thread was about extremes of climate change, not about one specific fool.

The "offtopic" bit was an attempt to concede that I was outside the intended topic.

To be clear, I am not saying man-made climate change isn't happening.
I am just laughing at someone who is a fear-monger.

Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) issued a major flood warning for areas along the Lachlan River as a large dam in New South Wales’s South West Slopes region spilled heavily on Monday, November 14.

Footage released by the local Rural Fire Service (RFS) shows water gushing from Wyangala Dam.

“Wyangala dam is currently spilling significant amounts of water as result of widespread heavy rainfall yesterday and overnight,” NSW RFS South West Slopes Zone said.
