But the Orange says it's California's fault for water rationing!

I'd say the Orange is a baboon, but I have nothing against baboons. I think baboons are more intelligent than the Orange.

So much science falls on deaf ears in this country. A good percentage of 'merkans will dismiss a video like this without even watching 30 seconds of it just because Neal deGrasse Tyson is in it. Anything on any 'mainstream' media source is similarly dismissed before being given any objective consideration simply because of it's source. It's a sickness.

I despise Fox News, but, I will view stories there just to get a different perspective. Granted, I find about half of what they call 'news' to be little more than biased bullshit. To be fair, I can browse a site like HuffPo and reach a similar conclusion.

This particular offering was interesting, and there's probably more truth in it than fiction, but, the participants, especially Swain, inject considerable 'colorful' statements offering his point of view. Neal does much the same, but as the host of the video, he is also charged with making it interesting.

I'd prefer to just read the actual scientific data on the topic from more than one source and reach my own conclusion.

FWIW.

The Castaic Lake north of Santa Clarita was likely spurred on.
We are in the general chat section so that is as far as this conversation can go.

I wouldn't insult baboons like that.

To paraphrase Henry II: "Will no one rid us of this turbulent jerkoff?"

I didn't know they had any water to ration?

they kinda don't. northern CA gets a lot of water from sources it acquired more than 100 years ago. southern California gets water from further away.
