On whatever it is you all are trying to use it for. Why was it ever brought up?
There are two questions and I'm not sure which you are asking. Is the drought affecting the economy or is the drought affecting the environment? Both are affected and both are connected but you seem to deny either are affected. I didn't think you are that stupid so was asking you what in hell you are trying to say.

Why did Pada bring up The Drought? It was not me who made it an issue. You'd have to ask him.

Based on your original post, it seems like it was pretty easy.
No, it's not easy, it takes effective economic policy like the one California implemented the year before by increasing the income taxes paid by millionaires to the highest in the nation, the same policies people like you and the other conservatives fervently claim will lead to Venezuela

You opinion is like shit on the floor. Move along, son.
nah, it's not.

people who are claiming that groundwater depletion in california is non-existent are retards. now that is a good opinion to have.

it's a much better opinion than "there is no groundwater depletion".

I understand it's Sunday and most you of you are baked out of your minds, so I'll go ahead and go back to the beginning ...


Do you think it would be easier or harder for a state with an agriculture industry twice the size of any other state in the nation to pull off one of the highest economic growth rates in the country during a drought?

What does the drought have to do with any of this?

Yet you can't show any proof of it's impact.

Pada brought up The Drought. Why?
I hope you will accept a summary of effects of the drought from that liberal hotbed, UC Davis:

http://universityofcalifornia.edu/news/drought-costs-california-agriculture-18b-10100-jobs-2015

Drought costs California agriculture $1.8B, 10,100 jobs in 2015
The drought is tightening its grip on California agriculture, squeezing about 30 percent more workers and cropland out of production than in 2014, according to the latest drought impact report by the UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences.
In 2015, the state’s agricultural economy will lose about $1.84 billion and 10,100 seasonal jobs because of the drought, the report estimated, with the Central Valley hardest hit.

The analysis also forecasts how the industry will fare if the drought persists through 2017.


Another bit extracted from the article:

The heavy reliance on groundwater comes at ever-increasing energy costs as farmers pump deeper and drill more wells. Some of the heavy pumping is in basins already in severe overdraft -- where groundwater use greatly exceeds replenishment of aquifers -- inviting further land subsidence, water quality problems and diminishing reserves needed for future droughts.

Further, several small rural communities continue to suffer from high unemployment and drying up of domestic wells because of the drought, particularly in the Tulare Basin.

"If a drought of this intensity persists beyond 2015, California’s agricultural production and employment will continue to erode,” said co-author Josué Medellín-Azuara, a water economist with the UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences.

Guess what? Drought of that intensity is persisting into 2016 and there is no let up in sight.

I think what Paddy was saying is California's economy expanded in spite of the effects of drought "on agricultural economy". My words in quotation marks.

So you say no effect. I wouldn't say that in a bar in Stockton or Modesto.

i think everyone is just having fun laughing at you knowing the impact exists.

for example, i know groundwater is being depleted simply from having talked to a few california farmers. but this is even better.



still fun to laugh at you though.

You still have yet to provide a single example of it's impact. That's the funny part. :)
