California Drought Tests History of Endless Growth
"California's Historic Drought
Mar 27, 2014"

“You just can’t live the way you always have,” said Mr. Brown, a Democrat who is in his fourth term as governor.
P - “For over 10,000 years, people lived in California, but the number of those people were never more than 300,000 or 400,000,” Mr. Brown said. “Now we are embarked upon an experiment that no one has ever tried: 38 million people, with 32 million vehicles, living at the level of comfort that we all strive to attain.

Melting Glaciers Are Wreaking Havoc on Earth’s Crust
[...]
You've no doubt by now been inundated with the threat of global sea level rise. At the current estimated rate of one-tenth of an inch each year, sea level rise could cause large swaths of cities like New York, Galveston .. http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Researcher-Rising-seas-to-put-Galveston-25-4699030.php .. and Norfolk to disappear underwater in the next 20 years. But a new study out in the Journal of Geophysical Research .. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2016JB012884/full .. shows that in places like Juneau, Alaska, the opposite is happening: sea levels are dropping about half an inch .. https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.shtml?stnid=9452210 .. every year.
P - How could this be? The answer lies in a phenomenon of melting glaciers and seesawing weight across the earth called “glacial isostatic adjustment.” You may not know it, but the Last Ice Age is still quietly transforming the Earth’s surface and affecting everything from the length of our days to the topography of our countries.
