FYI California today is significantly wetter than California was a thousand years ago. Paleoclimatological studies have revealed that the past 150 years in California were unusually wet; they find tree trunks at the bottom of lakes and rivers, showing that those used to be dry land hundreds of years ago. California drying up now is a return to the baseline. Bad news for those hoping the lush California their grandparents remember might be restored. It is very likely that California will continue to become much drier than anybody in living memory remembers.
