California's Central Valley is a monument to "You can't get people to believe something that affects their paycheck." The correct solution is to shut this area

California's Central Valley is a monument to "You can't get people to believe something that affects their paycheck." The correct solution is to shut this area down permanently. It isn't sustainable and the reason for the "subsidence" is that the agribusinesses have been pumping water from the aquifer and collapsed those layers which will now never refill. The problem people don't get is that "global warming" means less consistent weather--not less weather. It means more extreme precipitation--more torrential rains as well as more extended droughts.
