California Water and Infrastructure Report for October 11, 2018

http://www.californiadroughtupdate.org/pdf/20181011-California-Water-and-Infrastructure-Report.pdf?_t=1539388520

The new report by the anti-scientific crew known as the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), calling for all-out destruction of the world economy in the name of the false notion that carbon causes global warming, can and must be refuted by real science and real scientists.

A Note To Readers

As our quote above indicates, addressing the “man-caused climate change” hoax this week is necessary, as the IPCC has issued a new report demanding an acceleration of the shut-down of industry and electricity production world-wide to supposedly slow down global warming. As I write below in the section on this topic, only a few foolish countries will go along with such a suicide policy. Most, especially China and the nations of Africa, will only accelerate their transition to industrial countries.

The other major development addressed in the final section of this week’s report is the long-developing financial and speculative bubble that appears to perhaps begun to crash this week with the market shock of Wednesday and today. Well, we shall see if this is the beginning of a new 2008-style collapse or not in the days ahead. But, whether it is or is not, what is required is the “Four Laws of LaRouche” policy now. https://larouchepac.com/four-laws

In a webcast by Helga Zepp-LaRouche today, she addressed both major topics:

“The world is at a turning point, with a looming financial crash so evident that even the International Monetary Fund is warning of a likely new “Great Depression.” Combine this with the just-released report by the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which calls for a genocidal deindustrialization and depopulation of the planet, and the need for urgent change to an entirely new paradigm couldn’t be more clear….

You need a New Bretton Woods system; you need Glass-Steagall; we need to get rid of the casino economy; we have to have credit for the financing of the real economy and we have to have a new credit system to basically finance investments on a multinational level among all the countries of this world, to get the world out of this danger of a depression….” https://larouchepac.com/20181011/war-and-peace-stake-midterm-elections

Now on to the news for the week:

The drought intensity in the state is holding steady with little or no change over the past several weeks. But, there should be no complacency, as 84% of the state is “Abnormally Dry,” and 23% is in “Severe Drought.”

So, what will the rainy season that officially begins the first of November bring? There is a 70% chance of an El Nino, which usually, but not always, brings lots of precipitation to the state. Two items discuss this. The first item is very technical and you will have to go to the link if you wish to follow the technical details.

That section is followed by a report forecasting that the future will bring less snowpack to the Sierras. That study correlates with the IPCC new report. That has been discussed above and the two sections on these reports found below, discuss the topic further.

For years the building crisis of the Colorado River has been discussed and argued about. This week a first definitive action has been initiated as the headline reads, “California Voluntarily Cuts Back Colorado River Water Allotment.” This is a part of a broader negotiation process involving the seven states and Mexico on how to handle the shrinking water flow of the Colorado.

A round-up article on the year of fires for California emphasizes that while the acreage burned is a record, we are still in the historically worst month for fires right now.

As mentioned above, the last section of this week’s report is on the financial market crash this week.

Note: There is no Oroville Dam Update this week, as little has been reported.
