This is a good opportunity for people to learn some basic media literacy and how to deconstruct propaganda. For the record, I'm o fthe opinion that the evidence for climate change is clear, compelling and undeniable. So don't take this or my previous comment to any kind of denial. Climate change is real. It's just not the primary cause of the problem. So, what we see with an effort to blame this on climate chang eis an effort at misdirection. Climate change as a political issue tends to follow left vs right divisions. If you're left-leaning, you tend to believe in climate change. If you're right leaning, you tend to be a denier. Agricultural industries are, by their nature, rural. Rural voters tend to be conservative. So why is a business that leans conservative blaming climate change for the Colorado River problems? Because it blames the issue that many will deny the existence of and for those that don't deny, many will believe there's nothign that can be done. And on the left, some so want the very real issue of climate change to be taken seriously, they'll latch onto any media coverage that shows the ill-effects of climate change, even when climate change isn't the primary cause. I personally believe this undermines the cause because when people realize it's an unrelated issue it undermines that issue. So agribusiness blaming this on climate change is smart propaganda because people on both sides will latch onto the narrative (for different reasons). But this is propaganda.
