The lack of critical thinking in some people is astounding. Why do you not believe the countless scientists and people who have given their lives to educating people, who are warning us about this? You really think they care about getting more money? They are in on some money grab conspiracy? What the fuck.
9/11 was a conspiracy. Global warming...Man made global warming is slapping you in the ass. How is the water doing over there in California? You can dry up a whole state..but you still can't affect the climate or anything.

if you are asking me, the latest from California is this winter's snow pack was 5%, the worst on record since 1950. the governor has implemented stricter rules over public water rights, and launching campaigns to get people to convert their grass lawns to proper flora and fauna indigenous to this desert. According to what i've read but haven't sorted out is agriculture (which uses ~85% of all the water in the state) is maxed out on their restrictions, the term is they can't not get any less water from the state and feds, nevertheless, they are getting water from somewhere, haven't figured that part out.
anyway, it's not enough. But i can tell you this, i'm doing my part to conserve, both energy and my pollution footprint. I also volunteer at the beach and clean up trash 1 a month, basically, i've become a lifestyle conservationist. including water, 2 of us use less than 150 gallons of water a month. that is a hard act. regardless of my not liking how the politicization of the science of it all distorts the issue and stalls action on a government level, i still do my part. i bitch about the politicization of it here because i flip out over the "science is settled" fallacy. that's scary shit.
