4 Is it really that bad?

4 Is it really that bad?

Yes, here is a portion of a recent article from the U.S. government.:

· Based on the Palmer Drought Index, severe to extreme drought affected about 8 percent of the contiguous United States as of the end of February 2015, an increase of about 2 percent from last month. About 5 percent of the contiguous U.S. fell in the severely to extremely wet categories.

· About 15 percent of the contiguous U.S. fell in the moderate to extreme drought categories (based on the Palmer Drought Index) at the end of February.

Another article:

  • Okay, your question intrigued me so I took the liberty of googling 'worst droughts in history' apparently the western region of the U.S. is going through one of the worst droughts in 500 years and Australia is going through the worst drought that they've ever had in 1000 years.

And another:

It is well known that climate change is causing all sorts of extreme weather, and may lead to events such as 35-year-or-longer "megadroughts" that will be the worst we've seen in 1,000 years. Now researchers are giving us another glimpse into the future, saying that drought damage will likely cause widespread forest death by the 2050s as a result of climate change.

These articles have caught my attention. And what is extremely important is that the speed of the increase in the growth of the world’s drought. I challenge you to go out on the internet and Google or Bing “World Drought”. It will scare you as it did to me. And yet all we see on our local, national and world news is less important news for our future. These articles and notifications should be on every news, talk, and discussion show. But they won’t, because it would cause panic and world-wide societal collapse. What has caused this?
