Check out the mind-blowing California drought graphic from this article. If you're a visual-learner, this says it all. http://sfist.com/2014/07/31/the_current_california_drought_illu.php Also, for those ostriches that think global warming won't affect their "real" lives, from the article:...according to a UC Davis study released two weeks ago, about five percent of the state's irrigated crop land, or 428,000 acres, will be taken out of production by year's end, and statewide agriculture revenue losses are expected to be $1.5 billion. So you can expect the price of those carrots and avocados to rise.
