California's Drought. (Fresno, Valley Springs: rooftop, to live, cost of)

"The city (of Los Angeles) also has supported research by UCLA that found Los Angeles can expect average annual temperatures to rise 4 to 5 degrees by mid-century and snowfall in the region's mountains to drop by about one-third."

What does Al Gore, so-called "inventor of the Internet," have to do with a research done by UCLA?

"...the provisional data indicates that 2013 is likely to have been the fourth-hottest year on record.....chances are good that 2014 will be even hotter—perhaps the hottest year since records have been kept."

This has already happened here in Fresno. The high temperature has been well above average(somedays 10-15 degrees) everyday since early December. 70 degrees predicted for later this week. And no rain since December 7th. There is no denying that a major climate change has already occurred here in the Central Valley.

I was at Disneyland the first week of December. It was over 80 degrees 3 of the 4 days that we were there. This whole thing is getting really scary.

Those of you who have lawns get them aerated, spread compost and slow release fertilizer then water HEAVILY NOW.

Water deep and infrequent. Start prepping now. I wait until my grass shows signs of drought stress before watering throughout the year to promote deep and complex root growth. Then water deep with a cycle and soak approach for a day. Then might wait another month or two before watering again.

Your lawn wont look pretty but it sets to help survive for what most probably will be a season of grass killing water restrictions. Especially in Socal.

Adding a product called Turface to your lawn after aerating will help retain water and air as well. Its also sold under other names as well depending on your location. If you cant find it DE or diatomaceous earth works as well. Plus DE helps contol pests.

Sounds like the central valley will become an unhabitable desert by then. Glad i got out when i could.

Ask any farmer in the valley or other parts of the US about how their local climate has changed.

I live, work, hunt and deal with local valley farmers on a daily basis. None of the long term, multi generational farmers think the climate has changed. My neighbors across the street still ranch/farm land in Valley Springs Ca that was settled by their family in the 1800's. Drought and flood is a part of life in California and they dont believe the climate has "changed" as the term is being framed in this thread by climate change alarmists.

They are pissed thou at how feed hay/alfalfa suppliers are ripping people right now.
