#721163 — WESTERN DROUGHT RANKS AMONG THE WORST OF THE LAST MILLENNIUM

WESTERN DROUGHT RANKS AMONG THE WORST OF THE LAST MILLENNIUM
As temperatures warm, it becomes more likely the drought will match past “megadroughts” for length as well 
   https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/western-drought-ranks-among-the-worst-of-the-last-millennium/

"In the late 13th century, Native Americans living in cliff dwellings in the what is now the Four Corners region of the U.S. Southwest abandoned their homes en masse. They moved into river valleys, closer to the water that had become a scarce resource in the midst of one of the worst “megadroughts” to hit the western part of the continent in the last millennium.

"Scientists who study climate history have long been concerned that rising temperatures could help tip the already dry region into megadroughts (generally defined as droughts lasting 20 years or longer) again more easily in the future—a major worry in a rapidly growing part of the country that has already had trouble meeting water needs during nearly two decades of drought."

Gee, than it is a good thing that since the 13th century humanity has invented
things like wells, dams, pumps and pipe.

Apocalypse cults _ need to believe that the end is near;
otherwise, they simply can't function.

Truth can be crippling, and falsehoods can be liberating,
-- science FICTION pays better than the real deal;
hence religion, Marxism and other apocalypse cults.
