In fact, we had the second wettest winter on record just now. From what I've read about climate change, we will continue to be wetter than normal. It has gotten dry enough just in the past month, though, that a county not too far from ours has just declared that they are in drought. So I guess nothing is absolute. However, I would rather live in a "green", damp part of the country than the desert southwest, even though I think it is beautiful there, and I'd like to see the sun more than we seem to here in NC. But water worries are indeed serious and will only get worse in time.

Water is a problem everywhere these days. There are days when I really think the planet is doomed. All those SiFi movies about races to other planets are looking more and more plausible.

For years I've been worried about the heat and water situation here. Every time i go back to visit my family i wonder why i havent moved back yet. My husband and I are 60 and we worry about who would hire us at this point so that keeps us here for now. Im outta here as soon as I'm able.

Get out before the real estate "bubble" bursts...take the money and run because no one is putting on the brakes to development and growth at any cost. Industry is still high on Arizona and it compounds the water issues. Head in sand politicians say growth at any cost...Damn the Torpedos. One of the reasons we won't move there...ever.

I've been fortunate enough to live in two places with plenty of fresh water -- New York and the UK. But when I grew up in Florida there was a lot of concern about the groundwater and saltwater intrusion from overpumping the aquifer.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250333507042547703.post-49824690972444719672021-05-17T08:04:51.673-07:002021-05-17T08:04:51.673-07:00the CW is that the next war will be fought over wa...the CW is that the next war will be fought over water. and if something drastic doesn't happen soon to alleviate or at least stop global warming, in about 30 or 40 years there's going to be mass migration north of those who haven't already left the south and SW.<br /><br />more and more republicans are speaking out against Trump.

Wonderful stuff, has solved all my storage needs. Especially in the kitchen, it has turned a very small clost with only one overhead shelf into a lovely pantry.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.com
