“Hard core advocates of the man-made climate change scare are insisting on policies that would ensure mass suffering, mass death, and lowering the global population. Are those horrific consequences of their policies merely an unforeseen consequence, or was that the intention all along?”

A Note to Readers
Well, the Bomb Cyclone has come and gone, and all we got from it was some flooding, debris slides and a few inches, or even a few more feet added to the record low reservoirs, which remain at record low levels.
The U.S. Drought Monitor shows that the categories of Extreme Drought and Exceptional Drought, as a percentage of the state territory, declined about 5%. Otherwise the other categories did not move.
To remind us of what is required to break the drought, this winter and the next two or three winters require about 140% of the average precipitation California usually gets. And making that even more unlikely, the La Nina, scheduled to shape the winter from December through March, is now 97% likely to occur. La Nina pushes storms north from the usual track, making the northwest states wetter and California drier than a normal winter, if such things still exist.
To change the subject, slightly, but not really, I recommend viewing my colleague Ben Davidson’s presentation last Saturday to a LaRouche PAC Zoom meeting, titled the “Malthusian Origins of the Climate Change Scare.” That can be found immediately following this introduction.
In the rest of this week’s report:
Following the U.S. Drought Monitor for the West and for California, the next section is titled, “The Bomb Cyclone Has Come and Gone; the Drought Continues,” and has a series of articles on the storms, the drought that will continue, and the reservoir levels.
The next two sections are closely related, as, once again the governor does not really give a damn about much of anything that is important.
First, Governor Newsom, is now on his way to Scotland for the COP-26 gathering of ghouls for Halloween, some heads of state, a bunch of billionaires and celebrities, where they hope to impose the Bank of England’s “decarbonization” of the world. California’s water crisis, homelessness,and a dozen other real problems is the furthest thing from his mind. But, before he left the state he demanded the population double down on conserving water. The headline for this item is, “As drought conditions worsen, California expands state of emergency.”
Then, that would not be so blatantly criminal if he had ordered the Department of Water Resources to send some of the hundreds of thousands of acres of water flowing through the Delta to the Bay to be sent south to the farmers. That article is under the title, “Some Relief for Agriculture,” followed by “A Continuing Failure: Abundant Water Is Not Captured, but Flows to the Ocean.”
I include an opinion column on desalination next, which is okay, though a little soft in its arguments.
The report concludes with the Feature: “Two Options– Build and Develop or Collapse and Perish.”
