in 2008, climate scientists started to openly predict that without major reforms to our water narrative in the southwest, the civilization we have built there will not be sustainable.

what we are seeing is the predicted outcome from a wholesale refusal to adapt to scientific findings by parties defending water allocation policies written generations ago and by politicians being paid to ignore the problem by those parties.

sound familiar?

Way before 2008. I can legit remember a bunch of scientists on tv standing next to the Colorado River in the early nineties saying this shit is unsustainable given like 8 states all feed off it to varying degrees. They were already getting way less melt then from the lesser snowfalls.

I loved the Bellagio fountains and golfed every day, so it isn’t like I was part of the solution, but human nature is such that no one is going to alter anything until it’s almost too late.
