NASA Scientist Claims California Has One Year Of Water Left
2015-03-14 12:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Frisky: Today in apocalyptic sounding headlines, NASA scientist Jay Famiglietti was published in the Los Angeles Times` op-ed section saying that California has about one year left of water. This has been caused by a variety of factors that started well before the droughts. I remember the `80s and early-`90s as a kid, when the California water problem was spoken about often when Earth Day was trendy. The last 15 years, that kind of chatter has really stopped and most people prefer to just ignore the issue....
